WESLEY VILLAGE
"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
|
At
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 someones day gives me
pleasure and makes me want to do more. -- Wesley Village Volunteer
