Volunteer

Volunteer opportunities are available daily, weekly, monthly, or annually, as it fits into your schedule.

Our residents cherish the time they spend with our volunteers.

What is the most precious gift you can give? Your time as a volunteer to the residents at Dove Healthcare.

When you become a volunteer and share life experiences with one of our residents, you each make a new friend. The residents' lives and your life too will be richer for the time you spend together sharing memories and creating new ones.
