Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Weinberg Campus offers residents a variety of opportunities for social interaction with staff, family, friends, and other residents. Still, there are residents that have few visitors and need a friend to share things with. Friendly Visitors are volunteers that visit residents on a regular basis to share stories, pictures, and jokes. Friendly Visitors are a vital part of the continued health and happiness of many of our residents.

An orientation is provided by Weinberg Campus. A volunteer health physical, Tuberculosis (PPD) test, and criminal background check may be required.
