  • Volunteers

In addition to the caring administrations and the dedicated care partners, Parker’s residents and participants experience the warmth and kindness of over 200 volunteers who provide over 7000 hours of service each year. Volunteers enhance the quality of life of our residents and participants daily through sharing talents, skills, compassion, and time.

Volunteerism is deeply rooted at Parker, beginning with our founder, Henrietta Parker, who encouraged and welcomed community members to help and care for the infirm individuals who resided in her home.

The volunteer department is an essential part of the culture of Parker. The volunteers provide services through activities ranging from gift shop cashier to discussion group leader. We offer opportunities for people to share their pets, musical talents, spirituality, hobbies, interests, and gifts.

Together with our medical care, our volunteers’ kindness, dedication, and spirit are integral to our  Eden philosophy and mission to provide a home-like environment for our residents.

Volunteer Life

Our volunteers vary in age and background, from grammar school-age children to retired adults who wish to support and honor our residents and participants.

Parker’s volunteer program is unique in its ability to match the needs of our residents and participants with the availability and talents of our volunteers.

Volunteer opportunities for working directly with residents include recreational activities such as:

  • Spiritual services
  • Board games
  • Creative art projects
  • Computers
  • Gardening projects
  • Music programs
  • Discussion groups and more

Volunteer support positions include:

  • Filing
  • Data entry
  • Clerical work

We also welcome individuals or groups who would like to share musical or artistic talents with our residents on an occasional basis.

Applying to be a Volunteer

Please complete one of our online applications:

  • Individual Volunteer Application

Once we receive your application, we will contact you for a tour and interview. During the interview, you will learn about our philosophy and needs. You will have an opportunity to tell us about your unique talents, skills, and availability.
