Volunteer
When you volunteer for the Center, we take the necessary time to match you with a care-receiver who has a similar interests. We also work with you to create a schedule that is most convenient for you. This extra attention to the matching process has resulted in many long-term caregiver and care-receiver relationships.

Volunteer training
Attending a Volunteer Orientation is the first step to volunteering with The Center for Volunteer Caregiving. View our training schedule »
The trainings are held at The Center and various locations, and some are hosted by our faith partners. Training will include information about community resources, aging issues, and a general overview of the programs and services that The Center provides.
While attending an orientation session is not a commitment to volunteer, it does allow potential volunteers to see how they can become involved and how the system works.
Please contact the Center for Volunteer Caregiving for more information at 460-0567 or by email caregiving@ctrvolcare.org.
