Family and Elder Application
If you have questions about this for please contact us at 303-830-9035 or michelle@bessieshope.org. Please understand that the Family & Elders program volunteers are expected to make a one year commitment of service in order to promote meaningful relationships with the elders. This will be explained further in orientation.
While we have a huge need for volunteers in this program, it can sometimes take up to a month for final placement because of coordinating schedules, required paperwork, and other factors specific to each facility. However, once you are placed this becomes a very flexible volunteer position and you can visit according to your schedule.
We run CBI background checks on all volunteers before they can begin visiting elders. You can bring a check for $10.00 to your orientation to cover this cost or make the payment online by going to http://bessieshope.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=10.
