    Description

    Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota is in search of volunteers (18+) to support older adults in their community. You would provide dependable transportation to activities, meaningful friendship, and the assistance older adults need to remain living as independently as possible.

    Volunteers make a difference by providing weekly visits that keep older adults feeling well - both physically and emotionally.

    Benefits include: a stipend, mileage reimbursement, recognition, training, along with making a lasting impact on an older adult in the New Ulm community.

    We invite you to join us to make a difference in your community - just contact us to get started and learn more.

    Make a difference in the life of an older adult, meet new people, have fun in the community and enable another to do the same! Seniopr Companions support older adults who need a little extra help to continue living at home, stay healthy and remain as independent as possible.

    • No experience or diploma required - we’ll provide all necessary training
    • Flexible scheduling
    • Older adult and companion are carefully matched based on individual needs and interests
    • Must be 55 or older years old to volunteer
    • We strongly encourage volunteers who are people of color, indigenous, immigrants and refugees, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities to apply

    We look forward to partnering with you, as the life you change just might be your own - just contact us to get started and learn more.
