DIY…Build Happy into your New Year!

Volunteer within our Senior Circle of Care

Engage in a volunteer opportunity that feels right for you and find your happy place! Share your life experience, unique skills and compassionate-self to build meaningful relationships and provide helpful support within our Senior Circle of Care.

RIDES TRANSPORTATION*

A valid driver’s license and a gift for gab is all it takes to provide a Ride to a senior who is no longer driving for age-related ailments. RIDES are nonmedical with some of the most popular destinations being the grocery store, bank, post office, and hairdresser.

CHORE CORPS*

Geared toward fall prevention safety, skilled individuals, remodelers, and home tinkerers are encouraged to exercise their know-how to help decrease the number of fall hazards in and around a senior’s home. Chore Corps support services include minor home repairs and some home modifications.

PET CARE*

Animal loving volunteers engage with seniors and their furry friends through a partnership with the Alliance and Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS). Volunteers assist YVAS staff with service offerings such as vaccinations, nail trims, spay and neutering clinics, grooming assistance, pet supplies and more.

MEALS ON WHEELS

Delivery drivers have the pleasure of stopping by the home of an eagerly awaiting senior. Sure, the meal is part of the appeal but, the volunteer diver is equally as attractive. This happy encounter takes place on an assigned route that includes about 15 neighborhood deliveries. Meals on Wheels deliveries take about 2.5 hours ONE weekday morning a week. Opportunities to step-in as a substitute driver are also possible.

SOCIAL BUDDIES*

A personal match carefully cultivated between a senior and a volunteer blossoms into friendly social calls, in-person, or virtual visits that take place once a week. Connecting through common and curious experiences are part of the fun in making a new buddie and reducing isolation among seniors.

FRIEND COMPANION*

Living independently as we age is often about being blessed with a friendly companion who helps to encourage and inspire us in our daily living. With compatibility in mind, a Friend Companion and senior are paired. Working together, they focus on progress within a circle of support to maintain independent living.

*We support your desire to FLEX! Volunteer position offers a variety of friendly flexible scheduling options.
