Do you love giving back to your community? Are you looking for volunteer opportunities?
The Mansfield Senior Center is looking for volunteers this semester through UConn’s Community Outreach. The Mansfield Senior Center Community Outreach program connects students with Seniors in the Mansfield community through social and recreational activities that strengthen emotional and social well-being. We have several service opportunities available including helping with BINGO, food service, welcome desk, and joining for activities like Setback, Wii Bowling, and Jewelry Workshops that are waiting for volunteers of all talents and interests. We also hold meetings throughout the semester to reflect on our experiences and make crafts and cards for the Seniors.
Possible Shifts Are:
- Mondays: 1pm-2pm
- Tuesdays: 10am-11am, 10:30am-1:30pm, 12:30-3pm, 1-3pm
- Wednesdays: 1:30pm-3pm, 1pm-3pm
- Thursdays: 12-3pm, 1pm-3pm
- Fridays: 9-10am, 10am-12pm, 10:30am-1pm, and 12pm-3pm
Transportation to and from the Mansfield Senior Center will be provided by Community Outreach.
No prior experience is required! We simply look for respect, compassion, and a passion for community service. The Seniors love having us there, and it is a great way to experience working with a different population, share stories and experiences, and to form close bonds with older adults in the community.
Please fill out this application if you are interested in joining us! Applications will be reviewed on rolling basis!
