Volunteering with our enterprise offers the opportunity to share your time and talents, enhance the quality of life for our residents and learn more about yourself, others and the community around you.
Who can volunteer?
Our volunteers must be at least 15 years old and possess a cheerful disposition and a sincere desire to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
What do volunteers do?
Volunteers spend time that enhances the quality of life for our residents in areas such as: one-on-one visits, assisting with group activities, transporting for therapy, sharing a hobby or talent, taking day trips, playing games and much more.
How do I get started?
An interview is scheduled by calling the facility at which you wish to volunteer. The interview will take place at that facility. At the interview, an application is filled out, and you will discuss your particular volunteer interests. The purpose of the interview is to get acquainted and to discover your skills, abilities and preferences in relation to the needs of our residents. In addition, all volunteers will receive a general orientation to the facility, its procedures and safety precautions before starting their service.
For Group Visits
To schedule a group visit, such as scouts or school groups, please contact the Activity Director from the facility lists below.
Health Assessments
To ensure the safety and physical well-being of our residents/patients, staff, and volunteers, the New York State Health Code requires the following for those who volunteer at our facilities:
- Physical examination and medical history
- Tuberculosis skin test (PPD)
- Proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
This sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t!
The physical examination, PPD and MMR can be done at the same time and require only a few minutes. If you choose to have these done at one of our facilities, we will assume the cost. In addition, for everyone’s safety, a background check will be performed on each individual interested in volunteering.
