 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES 

 

(1) Island Senior Resources

 
Volunteers needed!  Island Senior Resources (ISR) is a Non-Profit 501(3)c organization, serving Island County since 1972, that provides essential resources for older/disabled adults, their families, and caregivers.  We are seeking volunteers to help us with our newest program for social engagement to close the gap between older/disabled adults and social isolation.
 
Our trained volunteer teams take older adults to a variety of activities and events on Whidbey.  If seniors are unable to leave their homes, we can have volunteers go inside the home to play games, read, or simple companionship and friendly visiting.  Those who join ISR Connects view it as a lifeline. As we know, the COVID-19 pandemic closed many doors, especially for those within older generations or with medical conditions.  As we enter a post pandemic world, our most vulnerable populations lost and have not been able to find connection within the community.
 
Our program provides social enrichment to anyone 60+ yrs old or a disabled adult 18-59 yrs old. We have some transportation options available for those who need it. If possible, we would LOVE to bring more volunteers onboard as this program will not function without them.  Volunteers must be 18 years or older, but youth are encouraged to volunteer with their guardian.  This program is seeking help from active-duty military, reserves, contractors, civilians, and dependents.  So, pass along this info to anyone seeking to enrich their lives with human connection. Our goal is for our volunteers to commit to one social connection per week, although even a once-a-month commitment would help break the isolation so many of our disabled and aging community members are going through.
For more information or to sign up, contact the ISR Connects Program Manager:  Bailey Todd at 360-672-6505 or Bailey@islandseniorservices.org
