Volunteer Opportunities

There are many opportunities for volunteers at Resthaven.  Below is a sampling of the opportunities.  This list does not limit the possibilities—create you own!

 

LIFE ENRICHMENT ASSISTANT:  Help out with various activities, such as games, Bible study, exercise, or crafts.

 

DRIVER: Using a Resthaven van, transport residents to appointments and outings.

 

ENTERTAINMENT:  Do you sing, play the piano or other instrument, dance, or perform magic?  Share your special skill with residents!

 

ESCORT: Volunteers are needed to escort residents to appointments or while on outings such as shopping, fishing, or visiting Captain Sundae. Transportation is provided by Resthaven.

MEN’S GROUP LEADER:  Meet weekly/every other week with the gentlemen for a time of reminiscing, fellowship, and socialization…just for the guys.

 

RECEPTIONIST/OFFICE ASSISTANT:  Use your office skills to assist with mailings, greeting guests, answering phones, filing and special projects.
