    Description

    Volunteer Advocates wanted! Help amplify the voices of those living in Long Term Care settings!

    We are looking for people to become Volunteer Advocates in over 30 counties in WI! (Please see our website for a full list of counties that are looking for incredible volunteers!)

    Volunteer Advocates visit a local nursing home or assisted living community, have friendly conversations with residents, encourage and support residents to express their views and wishes about issues affecting their quality of life.

    This volunteer opportunity is flexible. Visits are made on a regular basis (as often as once per week) anytime between the hours of 8am-8pm, any day of the week, with no advanced scheduling. A visit typically lasts between 1-3 hours depending on the preference of the volunteer. Completion of a background check is required and training is provided.
