    Description

    This is an exciting opportunity for volunteers to learn about the challenges faced by caregivers and care recipients and develop skills to support both parties, while advancing SCES’ mission to support the rights of our neighbors to live independently in the community. Volunteers will be matched with individuals and caregivers living with dementia to ease caregiver burden. They will be trained in Positive Approach to Care (PAC) to provide skills support, emotional support, resource navigation, and respite.
