Whether you are looking to learn new skills, make new friends, have more fun, or make a difference in someone else’s life, we would love to have you on our team of volunteers.

Our volunteer program started in 1951 when a group of neighborhood women began to do haircare for the residents.  That small group has grown to include over 250 volunteers, from age 8 to 97, who are sharing their time and talents to enhance the lives of the people Eventide serves.

Eventide volunteers are retired, employed, raising children, in school and represent all walks of life.  Volunteer commitments range from weekly to every other week, monthly or as needed.  Just let us know how you would like to be involved.

Volunteer opportunities are available for youth who can volunteer independently at age 11, and we have a Summer youth program called the Eventide Junior Volunteer All-Stars. Children under 11 can volunteer with a parent or adult. 

Here are just a few ideas…

• Assist with regular activity groups in the nursing home or apartments
• Transport residents to and from in-house events/appointments
• Bring a young child or a pet to visit
• Deliver mail to residents
• Accompany residents/tenants on field trips
• Cashier in the Kaffe Hus or Gift Shop
• Assist the chaplains
• Assist tenants in the Exercise Club
• Help with special projects or events
