You deserve a day at the spa or salon... why not make it all the more special by taking a neighbor with you. When older people become less active, they can also become forgotten. Can you spend time with this lovely nearby neighbor who enjoys to get her hair done. Get your nails done while she gets her hair done and you can do a good deed while you cross an item off of your own to-do list. She also loves to sew but can't see so well to do that anymore. If you love hanging out with inspirational people, this is the place for you.

Requirements to be a great volunteer include:

  • a desire to help others;

  • a pleasant demeanor;

  • a good reading/speaking voice;

  • average reading skills;

  • organizational or planning abilities;

  • a good driving record;

  • a clear criminal history;

  • two references

  • access to a car with proof of insurance;

  • a minimum of $50/100k liability and $5,000 of property damage coverage.
