Getting Involved
Volunteer
The main mission of Franke Tobey Jones’ volunteer program is to enrich our residents’ quality of life by providing a dedicated corps of volunteers who share our commitment to excellence.
Each resident is a unique individual with special interests, talents and needs. They are also members of a group who need to be connected to their community. A volunteer program is an effective way to address these needs and maximize quality of life. With assistance from a Volunteer Coordinator and other staff, volunteers creatively put their energy and talents to work.
Volunteers have a significant impact on the lives of our residents, their families, staff and the community by:
- Carrying out a wide variety of activities to meet the interests and wishes of our residents
- Providing companionship, the most basic human need, thus allowing residents to be “heard” and unconditionally accepted
- Promoting community involvement through service and intergenerational programs and activities that break down generational walls and stereotypes
Volunteers are important members of our team, and their contributions are greatly valued. We invite you to explore the many volunteer opportunities available. Please click here
