Volunteering gives you the opportunity to change lives, including your own. As a volunteer at McLean, you play an integral role in our success.

We are always looking for compassionate people who can assist us in fulfilling the important role of volunteer. Opportunities are available that include a wide range of individual and group tasks.

Volunteers are rewarded with the knowledge that a difference has been made in the life of our residents. Your role may or may not involve direct involvement with our residents. As a volunteer, you can choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving of your time. Here are just a few requests our staff currently have:

• Friendly Visitor
• Greenhouse Assistant
• Media Center Assistant
• Resident Mail Delivery
• Craft Program
• Ceramics
• Sunday Services
• Special Events
• Bingo
• Menu Selection
• Transport Assistance
• Book Club
• Wii Gaming
• Wellness Center
• Meals on Wheels
• Pet Therapy
• Share your musical talent/interest

 

Prior to placement, volunteers must attend an orientation session lasting approximately 45 minutes.

You must be 14 years of age to begin volunteering with us. An application may be obtained by clicking on the link below, or picked up at our reception desk. Once the application is received, you will be contacted with the date of an upcoming volunteer orientation session.
