About Volunteering


 

Do you have talents you would like to put to good use?

Lamorinda Village offers all of us ways to help our neighbors. Volunteers experience the satisfaction that comes with using their skills to make a positive difference in people's lives. 

 

Volunteers form a cornerstone of Lamorinda Village, drawing upon the untapped capacity of people in our communities to support each other.  Volunteers can include members, college students, empty nesters, retirees, and many others from the community.

 

WHY VOLUNTEER?

  • You will stay active - physically, mentally and socially
  • You will make a difference and improve the quality of life of our seniors
  • You will put your talents, skills, and capacities to good use
  • You will get to know many more of your neighbors
  • You will pay it forward, knowing that someday you also will need support
  • You will enhance your sense of well-being by volunteering 1-2 hours a week, according to recent medical research
