Volunteer Application

Assist the PLC with administrative tasks such as data entry, written correspondence, filing, and/or other office support. Tell us about your interests and skills. Our office hours are 7:30am - 2:00pm. We can work with you on scheduling.

Share your ideas for a theme, activities, and dinner for our monthly Break Time Meals. Opportunities also exist to assist with hosting a Break Time meal. These events are held on a Friday evening towards the end of every month from 6-8pm. 

Assist with a variety of daily tasks such as greeting visitors, answering the phone, organizing materials, maintaining our space in good order, leading activities such as cards and games, and enjoying conversation with participants. May assist with administrative tasks such as data entry, written correspondence, filing, and other office support. May also include facility decorating for holidays and/or other activities specific to your interest. Come once a week, once or twice a month, or more often. The time commitment is up to you. 

The Parkville Living Center will occasionally have opportunities for small groups to volunteer together. These “done in a day” activities could include setting up for special events, painting, decorating a room, distributing fliers to local businesses, and more. Time commitment is 2-4 hours for these group activities. Please contact us for more information and scheduling.

This is an opportunity to share your pet with others. Volunteers and their pets will visit residents of senior living facilities in Platte County in this animal-assisted companion program. Pets receive temperament testing by a veterinarian annually and must be up-to-date on vaccinations and other health requirements. Orientation and pet testing is held in January, April and September. 

Don’t have a pet but love animals? We need volunteers to assist with our pet temperament testing events. These events are held in January, April and September, usually on a weekday evening.

Share your special skills with the PLC! A few examples……

Do you have a green thumb? Dig in the dirt and help maintain our small garden plot. 

Do you have experience in the medical field? Provide blood pressure checks for our participants once a month. Or give presentations on how participants can maintain their health. 

Do you have legal expertise? Provide periodic educational sessions regarding wills, estate planning, trusts or other topics of interest.

Do you have marketing or advertising expertise? Help the Parkville Living Center develop a plan to get the most out of our limited marketing dollars and spread the word about our programs.
