Some of the benefits of volunteering include:

Staying active – physically, mentally and socially.
Connecting with others and feeling part of community. Putting talents and skills to good use.

 

What do YSNN volunteers do:

Provide transportation --doctor’s appointments, grocery store.

In-home assistance –minor chores, occasional meals.

Companionship—phone checks, visits, walking partner.

Gardening advice and help –watering during absences.

Light home maintenance –turn mattresses, change smoke alarm batteries.

Social events / Educational programs- transportation to or encouraging member to go.

Office support –assist with phone calls, mailings.

Technology assistance - smart phones, TV remotes, computers, etc.

Something wonderful that none of us could have imagined or anticipated.

 

When do YSNN volunteers give their time?

Volunteer schedules are very personal – it’s up to each volunteer when they are available.

How it works?

Volunteers give their preferred days and times of day they are available when filling out their application.
Then they go through orientation and training. 

The YSNN Program Manager or call volunteer will put in a member request for services
and volunteers will be contacted by email or phone.
The volunteer will respond to the request
saying that they are available or they are NOT available.
