The Volunteer Companion positions were created with the goal of connecting volunteers with residents during the weekend hours. The volunteers should use this time to engage with the residents in a positive environment. There are games that could be played, STSG has cards, dominoes, a basketball court, and board games that the volunteers could play with the residents. There is also a TV, and a DVD player as well if residents and volunteers wished to watch movies together. Volunteers could also sit and chat with residents on the porch. This position is a way for residents to get more connected in the community, with people they may not normally engage with otherwise.
Volunteer Companion shifts are assigned a first come first serve basis. You will receive an email from stsg1101nd@gmail.com confirming your shifts.
