Lend a Helping Hand?
As a nonprofit organization we understand how valuable volunteers are. At our nonprofit, Young at Heart, volunteers are the heart and soul of what we can accomplish daily. They help directly with the seniors who participate in our many programs. They assist with administrative tasks like outreach, customer service, and bookkeeping. They even help us with our fundraising events.
Volunteering helps everyone involved as it gives much needed support to nonprofits while also teaching you many important tools that can greatly impact your life. If you decide that volunteering at Young at Heart is something you want to try, please use the contact form below to let us know you’re interested. Then together we can see how you may get involved with the senior citizen community.
