Assist with Arts & Crafts - Nashville
Unlock your creative talents and help the participants at FiftyForward Friends Adult Day Services do the same! Volunteers are needed to help our Friends with arts & crafts activities that are planned and led by staff. No artistic talent is needed, just patience and an appreciation for freedom of expression. Volunteers will assist one-on-one or in small groups as Friends complete simple projects that bring them joy. Volunteers should be able to complete simple "craft" tasks that include scissoring, tying simple knots, and other fine motor skills. Most importantly, volunteers should be comfortable conversing with older adults and encouraging their creativity.
Additional tasks may include:
- Assisting with room set-up or reset
- Small clean-ups as necessary
- Engaging participants in conversation
Volunteers in the FiftyForward Friends space are encouraged, but not required, to have their first full round of COVID vaccination.
Our Arts & Crafts volunteer opportunity occurs indoors in an ADA-compliant building with ample seating available + restrooms and filtered water.
FiftyForward is committed to providing active, older adults with quality programming that enhances their lives and provides opportunities to learn, grow and serve others. Additionally, FiftyForward provides resources for older adults who need assistance with housing, nutrition, and medical care.
FiftyForward Friends Adult Day Services is a licensed program where adults 50 and older - who may have cognitive, memory, or physical needs - can continue to thrive and enjoy an active life. Our nurturing and supportive day program features a variety of engaging, fun activities that encourage daily learning, social interaction and connection, and an enhanced quality of life.
Volunteers help provide engagement and a sense of community for FiftyForward Friends clients. By bringing their own passions and interests to share in the Friends space, volunteers help clients to reconnect with their sense of self.
