Volunteer
You can make difference!
Volunteering is good for your health, keeps you connected to your community, and helps others.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with ISR! We welcome you to join us in our efforts to meet the essential needs of older adults, their families and caregivers across Island County. We’re here to make a real, lasting impact in our community and we can’t do it alone. The contributions volunteers make through our programs is invaluable, and we can’t wait for you to join our team.
Our volunteers…
- Make a difference in our community for seniors and their families.
- Come from all walks of life and are all ages.
- Are looking for a rewarding and impactful experience.
- Work towards fulfilling community service hours for school.
Being active helps keep my mind from growing old! It stimulates my memory having to remember certain aspects of my work process plus it gives me a good and happy feeling knowing I am still able to interact with others, even those younger than myself!
