Current Opportunities

Join the volunteer team at Holland Home that shares their time and talents with our residents! As we grow, our needs grow as well! We need a wide variety of talent, such as hairdressers, massage therapists, retired RN's and LPN's, people who enjoy reading out loud, people who can sing or play the piano, people who would like to give manicures, assist with arts and crafts, or assist residents during special presentations. If you have time to share, chances are we have a perfect fit for you as a volunteer!

In addition to the current openings, we also provide special group and intergenerational opportunities. We need people we can call when we need volunteers to assist with special events and outings – this is ideal for civic groups, professional groups, churches or other faith-based organizations. When these opportunities arise, you can decide whether it fits your schedule or interests.

Also needed are people who would like to be substitutes for our “regularly scheduled volunteers.” Ask a volunteer coordinator about substituting this option.
