About the volunteering opportunity
Sometimes the most valuable gift we can give is simply our time.
For our dementia care community, we’re looking for a volunteer mentor who’s truly dedicated to the cause—someone who listens, laughs along, shares memories, goes for walks, or is simply there. Three of our residents in particular would benefit from this personal attention. In the often hectic daily routine of caregiving, there isn’t always room for this extra time—even though it’s exactly what we’d like to give them—and yet it can make a noticeable difference in their quality of life.

Your Tasks
Our shared apartment is a place full of life. Here, we sing, cook, bake, solve puzzles, and celebrate together. People from different cultures and generations shape this community with warmth, openness, and mutual respect. Trust, dignity, and a zest for life are at the heart of everything we do every day.
As a resident representative, you’ll become part of our community. You’ll advocate for our residents’ interests, experience meaningful connections, and are warmly invited to join in on parties, outings, and everyday life in our shared apartment.
Do you want to do more than just help—do you want to be part of the community? Then we look forward to getting to know you.
