    Description

    Outdoor Seasonal Yard Work for Older Adults!

    Looking for a meaningful way to give back in your community? We’re looking for compassionate, motivated volunteers to assist Older Adults with seasonal outdoor chores.

    This opportunity is ideal for anyone who enjoys being outside, wants to connect with others in their community, and is interested in making a real difference in someone’s daily life. Tasks may include light yard work such as raking leaves, weeding, sweeping walkways, planting flowers - and during the winter, helping with snow shoveling to keep outdoor areas safe.

    We know everyone has different schedules, so this opportunity is designed to be completely flexible. Whether you're available for a single afternoon, a weekend here and there, or prefer to help on a regular basis throughout the seasons, we’ll work with your availability.

    You can volunteer on your own or with a small group - perfect for families, friends, coworkers, or community organizations. We also offer the option to be paired one-on-one with the same Older Adult throughout the year, allowing you to build a meaningful connection while offering ongoing support.

    Your time and effort will have a real impact. By helping with these outdoor tasks, you’re supporting Older Adults in maintaining safe, welcoming homes and helping them stay independent - all while fostering a greater sense of community.

    Get involved. Make a difference. Grow through service.
