Volunteers

There are many ways a volunteer can assist an Adult Day Services Program.

Men, women and children (usually 14 or older) find that the time they share at an Adult Day Program is both worthwhile and rewarding. Volunteer needs at each center will vary.

General job description may include:

	Assisting with activities and crafts
	Sharing special talents (i.e.: music, art, dance)
	Setting and clearing of tables for lunch and/or snack
	Riding on the bus as an assistant
	Accompanying group on a field trip
	Preparing daily snack
	Walking with participants
	One on one activities with participants (i.e.: puzzles, cards, table games)
	Assisting with mailings or other clerical work

Training is provided so volunteers are familiar with the routine and know what is expected of them.

High school and college students often need service time as part of a class or training.

Centers can offer opportunities for:

	Service learning
	Internships
	Practicums
	Field placements
	Co-op
	Community Service
