Come as you are! Bring your talent, passion, and personality into the life of an unpaid family caregiver to allow them a much-needed break while supporting the older adults and veterans they care for.
Together with a team of like-minded volunteers, you can relieve stress and help prevent burnout by supporting an unpaid family caregiver, who may (for example) ask you to help them organize their home, plan a special occasion, help with a gardening project, pick up their dry cleaning, or spend with the person they care for while they go for a cup of coffee with a friend.
In just 4 flexible hours a month and a one-year commitment, you can lift the spirits of an unpaid family caregiver and their dependent, gain a unique life experience, and enrich your spare time.
“I’d recommend a Full Life Care Team because Full Life really prepares and supports volunteers well to work with caregivers and their partners. This is a wonderful program!” – Pat, Caregiver
“One single hour of my time allowed the Caregiver to focus on some paperwork which she needed to do.” – Suzanne, Care Teams volunteer
