Volunteer Roles
Senior Spot
Senior Spot is an adult day program for older adults with moderate or advanced limitations. It is designed to provide socialization and stimulation for participants while offering their caregivers a much-needed break (respite).
Senior Spot meets 12:00 - 3:00 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Golden Eagle Senior Center in Eagle. Volunteers arrive a little early to help set up and potentially stay to help clean up.
We ask for a commitment of a minimum of two set Senior Spot days per month i.e. every other Monday.
In addition to helping plan and lead activities, volunteers may be asked to provide one-on-one assistance with specific participants.
Activity Buddies
Activity Buddies are respite volunteers to help a family caregiver when they need a periodic break or have something they need to do but cannot leave their loved one alone.
The program is not meant to replace paid caregiving help and no personal care is provided. A volunteer engages the care recipient in an activity or conversation for one to three hours at a time.
