People often ask whether there’s a place for volunteers at Quarry Hill, and if so, what volunteer jobs are available. The answers are (1) YES, and (2) LOTS! And with study after study pointing to the long-term health benefits of volunteering—everything from improved mental sharpness to better physical health–evidence is mounting that just by lending a hand, you’ll help yourself as much as you do others.
To get you started, we offer here just a few of the many, many ways volunteers make a difference every day at Quarry Hill:
Assisting with Special Events
Dinners
Decorations
Holiday Activities
Visiting with Our Residents
Reading Aloud
Playing Cards or Other Games
