    Description

    Brighten the Life of a Disabled or Elder Adult

    Do you enjoy helping others? Can you make personal decisions for adults who are unable to make their own decisions? If you answered yes, then you can become a Volunteer Guardian!

    Guardians are needed when adults can no longer make important life decisions for themselves. These at-risk adults need protection from abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation. You can provide that protection through advocacy and decision-making.

    In just a couple of hours a month, you can make a tremendous positive impact in the life of an at-risk adult.

    A free on-line training session will help you become a successful volunteer guardian. On-going support and assistance are just a phone call or email away.

    Make an impact, get involved today! Someone will thank you and be grateful.

    NOTE: Volunteers have no financial obligation for the ward.

    Location

    On-site
    8600 Sheridan Road, Kenosha, Wisconsin, US
