Volunteer with Circle Center

Volunteers are the heart of what we do!

When you give your time at Circle Center, you help bring joy, comfort, and connection to older adults in our community. We welcome caring people who are ready to jump in with a smile, share their talents, and make a real difference.

Whether you’ve cared for an older adult before or you’re simply passionate about helping others, there’s a place for you here. All it takes is compassion, patience, and a commitment to showing up—we’ll guide you the rest of the way!

Individual Volunteers

As an individual, you’ll bring joy and companionship directly to our participants. Opportunities include:

  • Taking walks and enjoying conversation
  •  Working on puzzles and games
  • Serving meals and snacks
  •  Decorating bulletin boards
  • Assisting with fundraising or events
  • Helping with administrative/data entry
  •  Sharing your talents by leading an activity (music, art, crafts, etc.)
