Volunteer at Marbridge
Why Volunteer With Us?
From companionship to horticulture therapy, we have a place for you. An hour of your time is a gift we welcome, and longer term commitments are available too. When you share your time and talent with Marbridge residents, you make their lives a better place —and yours too. And we’d be very surprised if you didn’t have fun in the process!

Ideal Commitment:Weekly, Mon-Fri, Daytime
Compassion Team
Compassion Team
Work with residents who would thrive under one-on-one attention. Read to them, listen to music with them, reminisce on old times, look at photographs, go for walks, or simply hold a hand. Many of the Compassion Team residents may be non-verbal, or nearing end-of-life, but they need and deserve a connection, a relationship, with another person.
Ideal Commitment: 2 Visits per Month for 6 Months

Or, you could help some residents increase their independence by teaching them to cook. You can help with community events here on campus, or reach out to others and encourage them to get involved too.
