Volunteers at Plymouth Place provide companionship, friendly assistance and support to the lives of residents throughout the community.
We work with you to find where you feel most comfortable offering assistance based on your talents, interests and what you are able to offer. No matter how you choose to help, know that this experience will add value and joy to all the lives you touch, including your own.
Our robust group of volunteers, ages 16+, offers a diverse range of talents, experiences and unique skills to enhance people’s lives throughout Plymouth Place.
Schedules can be easily accommodated for weekly or bi-weekly visits.
Volunteers can be individuals, families or organized groups, including service groups or church organizations of 15 people or fewer. The best candidates are self-starters who are comfortable around older people and take direction well.

Plymouth Place counts on volunteers who are self-starters, are comfortable around older people, can share their talents, help regularly, and take direction well.
Yes. We welcome individuals who must fulfill service-hour requirements for school or confirmation, and we encourage a regular commitment. If you need many hours, we advise you to set up a volunteer schedule to accumulate service hours over time.
Absolutely! We are pleased to have service groups, church groups, and families volunteer. Groups must be a maximum of 15 people.
