Volunteers greatly impact the lives of our seniors and are essential to the work we do for the community.
Volunteers are the heart of our organization. Central Minnesota Elder Network volunteers deliver the services we provide. Over time our volunteers grow and maintain relationships with our elderly clients that benefit our clients as well as themselves.
All the Training Tools You'll Need
Volunteers receive training in different topic areas such as communication, memory loss, spirituality, grief & loss, and reminiscing. Training sessions are held in person or virtually, depending on the volunteer’s schedule. We provide all the tools you need to successfully communicate and connect with your client.
Provides volunteers for socialization. These are home-based activities such as conversation, cards or games, crafts, or a walk. The visits are generally once a week for about an hour.
Utilizes trained volunteers to provide non-medical care for clients while the primary caregiver attends to their needs, socialization, or out-of-home tasks.
