Volunteer Today!

Nav-CARE (Community)
Volunteers provide early support in the illness journey. They receive Nav-CARE training skills to search for ways for adults living at home to access services & resources promoting better health & ability to stay connected to their communities.

Friendly Visitor (Hospice, facility & community)
Volunteers companion clients that are alone, lonely and/or isolated. These volunteers can play cards or games, read to, reminisce, etc. with clients.

Adult Day Program (Community)
Basic Adult Day Programs are appropriate for medically stable individuals and focus primarily on socialization needs, maintaining optimal physical and cognitive functioning, and the provision of caregiver respite. Each day is intentionally designed with the preferences, interests and needs of each member in mind. The schedule is predictable to help with memory retention, yet flexible to accommodate individual preference and endurance. The content varies to provide interesting and stimulating programming. Everyday living activities are incorporated throughout the day to feel like home. The volunteer’s role is to assist client engagement in all programs, as well as support staff breaks over the lunch hour.
