Picture yourself volunteering

Volunteering is at the heart of our mission to share God’s love. At Luther Manor, more than 200 volunteers help make life better for older adults every day. We would love for you to be a part of this very special group of people.

As you use your time and talents to bring joy and comfort to others, you’ll benefit, too, by making friends, learning new things, and staying active and involved. You’ll teach others your skills, hear residents’ extraordinary life stories and feel connected to those around you all while doing the greater good.

Choose from a variety of volunteer opportunities:

  • Special events and field trip escort
  • Salon escort
  • Sunday church service escort
  • Great Room Café server
  • Life enrichment activities assistant
  • Resale shop clerk
  • Hospice companion
  • Pet therapy partner

*Student service projects available.

I’ve gotten much enjoyment from the camaraderie of the group as we meet each week. They have openly stated their appreciation for my being there, and it gives me the feeling that I am making a difference in their lives.

Start by filling out this online application. A Volunteer Services staff member will contact you to schedule an interview. This will include submitting information for a background check and a TB test and discussing how we can make your time with us a perfect fit for everyone! After the interview, you must complete an in-person volunteer orientation.

For continuity and to make the most of our time together, we request that you volunteer a minimum of 20 hours total over three months.

Yes, absolutely! We love working with families and organizations, large and small.

Children must be 12 years of age to be eligible for volunteer service and need to complete a student volunteer application.

We have volunteer opportunities that directly interact with the residents, department-supportive tasks/projects, and service-learning experiences. We try to match your interests, skills, and time availability with the needs of residents and our community.

All family members 12 years and older are eligible to volunteer and need to complete individual volunteer applications.

We refer court-ordered community service to internet volunteer referral sites to connect with a good match.

Interested in sharing your time and talent with seniors? We would love to hear from you!

Serving as a Hospice volunteer has given me golden opportunities to provide comfort and encouragement to the people I am assigned to visit. Being a volunteer has expanded my mind, heart, (and sometimes my waistline). It increases my zeal for continuing to “give back” to the organization that made it possible for me to be a resident at Luther Manor.
