Hi, gang! All right, I've done the most basic research, and it looks like we have four good contenders for volunteering this coming February. Here are the options:
1) AgeSong: was developed by three brothers (and, later, their sister) that marries psychology, theology, and law into a well-touted model for elder care.
2) Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly: hold a monthly social engagement event, much like a house party with food, music, etc.; also has opportunities for in-home volunteering.
3) Avenidas: volunteering opportunities include more traditional activities, such as playing board games, crafts, reading out loud; the center operates much like a Boys & Girls Club, in that there are daily activities and programs; they also provide therapeutic services on an as-needed basis.
4) S.F. Senior Center: appears to largely need office volunteers, so may not be exactly the kind of work we'd be looking for; keep in mind, however, that they have a Fleet Week volunteer program every October that we could keep in mind for the future.
O.K., those are my suggestions. Please vote using the poll at the top right-hand corner of this blog. Also, feel free to suggest any other facilities or programs that provide senior/elder services (e.g. nursing homes, etc.), and we can add those to the mix. Thanks, gang!
Peace.
