Volunteer Opportunities
Brain Games Leader
Provide challenging and interesting questions and games for residents, exercising the brain to improve aspects of cognition like memory, attention, focus, and brain speed. Brain games are usually on Wednesday afternoons at 3:00 PM.
Bus Escort
Assist residents to get on and off the bus safely and assist Seton Villa’s bus driver in loading and unloading walkers and packages during shopping trips and picnics.

Provide a welcoming, inclusive environment for all involved. Match up skill levels at the same table if possible and teach newcomers how to play.
Movie Night Facilitator
Choose an appropriate movie with the help of the Program lead, set up chairs and play a movie from Netflix or Prime, make popcorn and clean up afterwards.
Tea and Talk Host
Speak on a topic of your choice and engage the residents in conversation while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. Tea and Talk is usually on Tuesday mornings at 10:15am.
Uplifting Cards & Letters, or Pictures to Seniors
Many seniors don’t get any special letters or cards on special holidays or even regular days. This volunteer position asks you to write a letter or card to a senior you are assigned too, sometimes they may even write back! You can email your letter or pictures if you prefer, and we will print it and put it on their door or mailbox.
Grocery Delivery to Residents
Some residents don’t have family members or anyone nearby to help them out. Sometimes they like having small creature comforts such as treats or frozen pizzas to cook on their own. Some residents are still cooking their own meals here but have difficulty getting out to the store which is why a grocery delivery service is so beneficial. If you would like to be a part of the grocery delivery program, please contact us for more details.
Let’s Get Creative!
Do you bake? Craft? Talented with Florals or Plants? We have lots of volunteers with special skills unique to them that allows them to create their own position! We have one volunteer who loves to make gift baskets, so she makes us two a month and generously donates them. Contact us if you have a great idea or would like to do something similar as our residents never get tired of prize draws.
