This work is very important to the Center and we hope to make it fulfilling, rewarding, and fun for you!

How to get started and how the volunteer process works:

• Each perspective volunteer must attend a volunteer orientation.  The orientation is mandatory because of the information it provides and also allows you to become comfortable with the Center, our programs, and staff.  See our orientation dates and sign up if you're interested.
  
  
• At the orientation, each perspective volunteer will be given a job description of each position, availability sheet, volunteer procedures, an application, and a tour of the facility.
  
  
• Once the application is submitted, a background check will be performed.  Once cleared, you will be contacted by the volunteer coordinator to arrange for training and work hours.
  
  
• Training will be given by the volunteer coordinator before your work assignment begins.  Depending on the volunteer position, the training may last one to three hours.  Schedule of times is flexible.

Be a part of something that truly makes a difference in someone's life!  We are looking for substitute drivers to help out in the event regular route drivers are unable to work their shift.

This program is always looking for qualified individuals to help seniors with minor home repairs and maintenance.  Hours are coordinated with the senior and does not necessarily fit within business hours.  Must fill out an application, go through an interview, background check.  Skill and experience using tools is encouraged. 

Special Projects -
Various projects performed by volunteers will help the staff keep the quality of services to the Broomfield seniors.  Project hours and availability will vary on the type of project.  All projects are scheduled 8-5 Monday through Friday, typically in the afternoons.

Special Events -
Senior Center has several special events throughout the year.  These are a fun and social atmosphere for all involved.  We often need a few extra hands to help make these events run smoothly.  If you'd like to help out, just once in a while, please contact us to sign up!  Must fill out application and have background check.
