Help bring fun, connection, and meaningful experiences to residents by assisting with recreational and social activities throughout the community. As an Activities Assistant, you'll work alongside our Therapeutic Recreation team to support programs that encourage engagement, creativity, and social interaction.

Volunteer responsibilities may include welcoming residents to activities, assisting with setup and cleanup, helping gather supplies, supporting staff during programs, and accompanying residents to and from events. Whether you're helping with games, crafts, music, special events, or group activities, you'll play an important role in creating enjoyable experiences and brightening someone's day.

Inspire creativity and self-expression by sharing the joy of art with residents. Art Class Volunteers assist with creative activities that encourage social connection, engagement, and self-expression in a fun and welcoming environment.

Volunteers may lead a simple art project, demonstrate a creative technique, or assist residents during group art classes and craft activities. No formal teaching experience is required—just a passion for creativity, patience, and a willingness to encourage others.

Help provide social connection and mental stimulation by playing cards, cribbage, board games, and other favorite games with residents. This volunteer opportunity is ideal for individuals who enjoy friendly conversation, building relationships, and spending quality time with older adults.

Volunteers are matched with an individual resident or small group of residents and are encouraged to initiate games and social interaction. Therapeutic Recreation staff will help with introductions and provide support as needed to ensure a comfortable experience for both volunteers and residents.

Through laughter, conversation, and friendly competition, you’ll help create meaningful moments and encourage engagement in everyday life.

Support residents in participating in spiritual life and meaningful community gatherings by providing escort assistance to and from chapel services. This role helps ensure residents can easily attend weekly Mass and other spiritual offerings such as Bible study, rosary, and devotional services.

Volunteers may choose to attend services alongside residents or spend time visiting with others in the community during the service. Afterward, volunteers assist with escorting residents safely back to their rooms or neighborhoods.

For those interested in a deeper level of involvement, there are opportunities to participate more actively in worship services as a Eucharistic Minister, reader, or usher. Training is provided for all expanded service roles.

Build meaningful connections by spending one-on-one time with a resident or small group of residents through regular, friendly visits—ideally once a week. This role is centered on companionship, conversation, and relationship-building, helping residents feel seen, heard, and valued.

Volunteers are encouraged to engage in conversation, share stories, and participate in simple shared activities such as walking together, visiting the bird aviary or duck pond, or attending campus events and activities.

Friendly Visitors often become a trusted presence in a resident’s week—someone who brings consistency, conversation, and a familiar face to look forward to.

Enjoy the outdoors while helping keep our campus gardens and flower beds beautiful throughout the growing season. This hands-on volunteer opportunity is perfect for individuals who like being active, spending time outside, and contributing to a welcoming and vibrant environment for residents, families, and visitors.

Volunteers assist with a variety of seasonal gardening tasks such as planting, weeding, watering, and general upkeep of flower beds and landscaped areas across campus. Your efforts help create and maintain peaceful outdoor spaces that residents enjoy every day.

Share your talents and bring joy, comfort, and connection to residents through live entertainment throughout the Country Manor Campus. This volunteer opportunity is perfect for musicians and performers who want to use their gifts to create meaningful, uplifting experiences.

Volunteers may perform during mealtimes, socials, special events, and various other gatherings. There are also opportunities to provide more personal, one-on-one performances in resident rooms within the Health Care Center for those who would benefit from a more intimate experience.

A variety of campus resources are available, including pianos, microphones, and sound system connections for select spaces. Volunteers are welcome to bring their own instruments and equipment as needed.

Help residents stay connected to the broader community by joining them on fun and meaningful outings beyond campus. This volunteer role supports small group excursions that give residents opportunities to explore, socialize, and enjoy time outside of the community in a safe and supported way.

Volunteers are paired with residents and may assist with mobility support, including pushing wheelchairs when needed, while always working alongside Therapeutic Recreation staff who coordinate and accompany each outing.

Outings vary by season and interest and may include lunch at local restaurants, shopping trips, fishing excursions, bowling, and special holiday events. Volunteers may ride along in Country Manor transportation or meet the group directly at the destination.

Many of our residents are animal lovers, and pet therapy visits are a meaningful way to bring comfort, joy, and companionship throughout campus. We welcome certified pet therapy volunteers who would like to share their trained animals with our community.

Pet therapy volunteers must complete appropriate certification and campus requirements prior to participation to ensure the safety and well-being of residents and visiting animals. Our team will provide guidance on the approval and onboarding process.

Visits may take place in common areas or designated spaces throughout the campus and offer residents a calming, uplifting opportunity to connect with animals and experience the many benefits of pet interaction.
