VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

WESLEY VILLAGE

Wesley Village volunteer"What I love most about my volunteer work at Wesley Village are the connections that I make with the seniors that I meet. It also gives me the chance to use my skills and talents while I make a difference in someone else's life."

Quote from a Wesley Village Volunteer

Volunteer opportunities for any ageAt Wesley Village, you will find housing and health care tailored to the interests and capabilities of our residents. Our volunteers assist staff and residents on a daily basis.When you volunteer at Wesley Village, we understand that:

  • Your time is precious
  • You have the ability to enrich lives
  • You want to have fun!

Volunteers agree to a regular schedule for a certain number of hours on a certain day of each week, and make a minimum commitment of 50 hours for the year.

Students who are at least 12 years old can participate in our Youth Volunteer Program if they can commit to 50 hours annually.

The first step in becoming a volunteer is to schedule an appointment for an interview. During the interview, we will discuss volunteer opportunities and determine an assignment according to your interests and qualifications.  We provide the training and orientation.

“Knowing that I have brightened someone’s day gives me pleasure and makes me want to do more.” -- Wesley Village Volunteer
