Next Steps:
- Schedule an interview with our Volunteer Coordinator at 925-952-2999. We will tell you about the program, find out what services you are interested in providing, when you are available to volunteer, and where you would like to volunteer in order to make a good match.
- Attend one of our Mandatory Volunteer Training Sessions. The training session will not only prepare you for your match, but will provide information that may help with your own aging parents or other family members.
- We will create a one-on-one match between you and a frail, isolated, and disabled senior over the age of 60.
- Meet your match! Begin your service and gain the satisfaction in knowing you have made a difference in someone's life.
