Volunteering at Cypress Glen Retirement Community
We welcome high school students to volunteer with us here at Cypress Glen. We require all volunteers to attend an orientation/tour before beginning their service with us. If a student is under the age of 16, a parent or guardian must attend orientation with them. The parent or guardian will not be required to volunteer with their student. Orientation lasts about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. Once a student completes orientation, they can sign up to volunteer.Our typical volunteer hours are Monday through Friday, 8:45 am-11:30 am and 1:45 pm-4:30 pm. We have a Life Enrichment staff member here on most Saturdays; therefore, Saturdays could also be a possibility for volunteering. We welcome volunteers during the summer, when most high school students can better fit it into their schedules. We realize school comes first!When volunteering, our students work with a Life Enrichment staff member (usually a certified Recreational Therapist). They will usually work with our Assisted Living, Skilled Care, and Memory Care residents. Our Life Enrichment department is in charge of facilitating numerous activities with our residents. Some of our activities include bingo, worship, animal-assisted therapy, cognitive games such as playing cards and board games, crafts, music, and themed socials.I am attaching a volunteer application for students interested in joining us here. The students can drop off their application or email it back to me. Our volunteer application is also available on our website: cypressglen.orgContact: Coleen BallardContact Email: cballard@umrh.orgContact Phone: (252) 830-7079 -
