Gathering

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of others? The Gathering, a Lyngblomsten group respite program, is seeking compassionate volunteers to join our team at the Lino Lakes and Como/St Paul sites.

Give the Gift of Time

Support families caring for loved ones with early- to mid-stage memory loss by providing four hours of stimulating activities and social connection. This allows caregivers a much-needed break to recharge.

Be a Part of the Fun! As a Respite Assistant, you'll help participants engage in enjoyable activities like crafts, music, gentle movement, and even trivia! No prior experience is necessary, and training is provided.

Volunteering Shifts: Choose the schedule that works for you! We offer weekday shifts (Mon-Thurs) from 9:30 am to 2:15 pm at our Lino Lakes and Como/St Paul locations.

Make a Lasting Impact:

  • Join a supportive volunteer team and make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families in your community.
  • Learn new skills and gain valuable experience in working with adults with memory loss.

Ready to Get Started?

  • Apply online: https://www.volgistics.com/appform/23212736
  • Contact Melanie for more details: mjagolino@lyngblomsten.org. New volunteers will attend an orientation and complete a Dept of Human Services background study with fingerprinting (required for working with vulnerable individuals).

We have two upcoming training sessions to help you learn more about this program and gain the skills needed to become a Respite Assistant. Please connect with Melanie at mjagolino@lyngblomsten.org to sign up:

  • Thursday, January 9th (9:30 AM - 11:00 AM) in St Paul (Como area)
  • Wednesday, January 22nd (9:30 AM - 11:00 AM) in Lino Lakes
