VOLUNTEER

Make a Difference in someone’s life as a Springwell Volunteer

Kindness matters! Whether it’s:

  • serving a hot meal,
  • providing a ride to a medical appointment,
  • taking someone to the grocery store,
  • spending time visiting an isolated older adult,
  • providing behind the scenes administrative support,
  • helping with budgeting and monthly bills, or
  • listening to the concerns of residents in nursing homes and rest homes.

Volunteers are vital to Springwell’s mission of helping people remain living safely and independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

Our Volunteer programs are a rewarding way to get involved in the community and make a real positive impact on someone’s life.  Our volunteers serve in Belmont, Brookline, Needham, Newton, Waltham, Watertown, Wellesley and Weston. By sharing 1-2 hours per week of your time, you can change someone’s life.
