Volunteer Opportunities
You can make a difference in the lives of our clients! As you forget self in service to others, you will find that, without seeking it, your own cup of happiness will be full. Yogananda
There are opportunities to spend time one-on-one with a client and share a special interest you both enjoy such as hiking, bowling, handwork, cooking, art, bicycling, swimming, playing board games, putting puzzles together, attending sports events, and going to parades or other seasonal events. You can participate in organized programs to teach skills to clients like skiing, swimming, boating, and fishing.
If you would enjoy socializing with other volunteers, there are opportunities to assist at the Horizons offices or with special events. We can use help with assembling mailings, answering phones and greeting visitors, and working on the annual silent and live auction.
