Our Residents:
The average age of our residents is 82 and many do not drive. They enjoy on site activities and meeting new people. Many of our residents are from the Denver area, but some have moved here to be near family and no longer live near friends. Your visits and volunteer efforts are greatly appreciated and we will work with you to make your volunteer experience enjoyable.
Current Volunteer Opportunities:
- Games - ½ hour to 1 hour per week
Cards, Penny-ante Game, Kismet, Wii Games, Board Games, Quizzes
- Coffee & Conversation
Bring something to talk about, such as an antique, a photo or any object that will help strike up a group conversation. Show pictures and ask what the residents think is happening. The goal here is to just have a good time and great conversation, to listen and tell stories that help us remember old times.
- Current Events - ½ hour to 1 hour per week
Bring in interesting newspaper or magazine articles for a rewarding discussion with our residents.
- Read Mail for Low-Vision Residents - ½ hour to 1 hour per week
Residents will bring their mail to the library for a volunteer to read to them.

This opportunity is for one, two or even more volunteers. Our goal is for our residents to have a great time, sing songs or just listen to the music.
- Exercise Class - ½ hour Mon. Wed. and Friday
These exercises should be geared toward frail seniors. Use our exercise plan or teach something new - possibly incorporating music into your session with the residents. You can spend rewarding time with our residents while also improving your own health.
