ESLC is seeking volunteers who are energetic and eager to help in the community, particularly in ways that connect with the older adult population. All of ESLC’s communities are looking for ways to further enrich the lives of residents through volunteer-lead programming. Life Enrichment Volunteers can lead programs in groups or as individuals, and some examples include:
· Nutrition or cooking demonstrations
· Crafts
· Educational presentations, such as history, science, or literature
· Travel “logs,” with photos and experiences of visiting or living in a foreign country
· Writing, such as short stories or poems
· Basic technology, such as use of applications and phones
· Clubs such as knitting, book clubs, movie clubs, etc.
· Games such as Bingo, cards, or other group games
· Musical performances or demonstrations such as singing or playing an instrument(s)
· Dance performances or demonstrations
· Theater performances such as short plays or improvisation
· Physical fitness, such as conditioning, yoga, or balance classes
Life Enrichment Volunteers can lead one-time programs or on a regular basis. Ideally, these programs should be between the hours of 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Volunteers should have solid skills in the program topic and comfortability teaching and/or performing. Details will vary depending on the ESLC community.
