Charlestown Retirement Community

The Charlestown Volunteer Program strives to develop a stable group of volunteers who can enjoy their experience while supporting staff and residents at Charlestown in their efforts to create and live in an atmosphere that celebrates life. A growing number of seniors are faced with a loss of quality of life as they move through the latter part of their lives. We see the Charlestown Community as a place where the quality of life for our residents is enhanced through a stable, interested and diverse group of volunteers who strive to support and enable all residents to experience the highest quality of life possible. The purpose of the Volunteer Program in our Community is to support a wide variety of on and off-campus activities that enhance the quality of life of our residents and the community at large, through the efforts of dedicated volunteers.
