Senior Center Without Walls is largely a volunteer driven program with over 90 volunteers, many of them older adults. We are grateful to our caring team of volunteers!
We are looking for volunteers for the following roles:
Group Facilitators
We need you! Yes, YOU! Join our team of facilitators sharing their skills, interests, and expertise in a variety of topics.
What’s so great about facilitating a group for SCWW?
- You set the schedule. You choose to lead a weekly or bi-weekly or monthly group or just do a one-time presentation.
- Since all of our activities are over the phone or Internet, you lead the group from the comfort of your home or office.
- It’s creative and flexible. Create stimulating content based on your passions!
- Your volunteer work matters, it makes a difference. You will join an amazing community of older adults and staff while helping reduce isolation through social connection.
We are open to any creative idea (truly, give us a call about your idea). We have received requests for the following topics:
- Groups in languages other than English
- Crochet
- Travel (one-time presentations)
- Religious studies
- Educational (ex: history, science)
- Art/crafts
- Gardening
- Music
- LGBT support
