Homage Senior Services
Homage Senior Services has dozens of volunteer opportunities for community members to become engaged with our mission to help older adults and people with disabilities live in their homes longer and remain independent. We provide options for one-day groups, clerical roles, skills-based volunteering, internships and more.
Here a just some of the ways to serve:
Senior Peer Counseling Program: Volunteers 55 and older provide one-on-one counseling to adults 60 and older who are struggling with life changes, loss or other emotional issues. No counseling experience necessary; 40 hours of initial training required. Note: This program is in need of male volunteers.
Front desk greeters at main office: Greet staff and community members when they arrive at our office on Airport Road in Everett. Answer the agency phone and provide vital information to those in need. Volunteer hours are 8:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. This is a great opportunity to become actively engaged with our mission.
Friendly visitors: Homage is seeking volunteers all over Snohomish County simply to visit older adults living alone, provide transportation to a vital doctor appointment or help with laundry or other small household tasks. If you are looking for an opportunity to help a neighbor for one or two hours a week, become a friendly visitor.
Homage handy helpers: Are you handy? Our home-repair team has a waiting list of small to large work orders to be completed so we can keep older adults and people with disabilities living in their homes safely. Tasks vary from installing closet rods to helping build wheelchair ramps.
Contact our volunteer manager, Nicole Warren, 425-740-3787 or email nwarren@homage.org, if you have questions or want to volunteer.
