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.
