Volunteer at our Senior Day Program

Neighbors supporting neighbors through volunteering is a powerful way to strengthen our community. Since our founding in 1989, volunteers have been the heart of our Senior Day Program’s success. With new faces joining us daily, participants benefit from conversations, shared activities, and deeper engagement. While 4 hours might not seem like much to us, it’s a priceless gift for our participants and their caregivers. If you have hobbies or activities you’d like to share, please let us know—we’re always eager to enhance our program with fresh ideas.

I'd Like To Volunteer!

What Does Volunteering Look Like?

One Time Guests

A photographer who can show us their collection, someone who'd like to teach us fly tying, a band of ukulele players, or a flower aranging class from the Bath Garden Club. Some volunteers just come once, but leave a lasting impression.

Regular Classes

Some volunteers have a skill they'd like to share, like baking or painting. They come each week to lead a regular class supported by staff and other volunteers.

Regular Shifts

Many volunteers choose a regular shift each week. They play games, laugh, and support members during regular programming

Some thoughts from a current volunteer at Respite Care’s Senior Day Program

Written by Paul Schaffner

Bath-Brunswick Senior Day Program, affectionately called, The Club, provides an outstanding opportunity for volunteers to directly benefit their neighbors and their community.

Volunteering is simple. Contributions of a morning or afternoon each week are easily scheduled and flexible. The organization’s small size and collaborative approach mean that everyone knows and works with everyone.

Volunteering is engaging. The program offers clear goals, wonderful facilities, and top-notch leadership, making the actual “work” of supporting the “Club” activities easy and meaningful.

Volunteering is informing. In-the-moment comments from participants tell us what activities they value. Observations from their caregivers provide further assurance that the program is of benefit to caretakers and participants alike.

Volunteering is rewarding. Diverse activities are abundant, as are times of observation and reflection. Clients, staff, and volunteers routinely share smiles and laughter.
