There's so many ways to get involved with Auburn Village as a volunteer. From being a board member to providing music to just visiting, there's a volunteer position available to fit virtually anyone's interest.
 
Volunteer!

Once, once a week, once a month, or every day
There's no such thing as volunteering too little time! The many Auburn Village volunteers play a significant role here every day. Volunteers are lending their time and talents to making each day more joyful and rewarding to those we serve - and every volunteer will tell you that each visit makes their day.
Anyone can jump in and be a day-brightener to a resident. There are plenty of interesting opportunities - or - you can suggest something new! Visit residents, read to the visually impaired, bring a pet to visit, assist at the front desk, escort residents to therapies, worship services or beauty shop appointments, make popcorn, play piano, play cards, sing, dance, laugh...
Volunteer individually or form a group consisting of friends, co-workers or church members. Students come from local schools.
If you're interested in volunteering at Auburn Village please contact Sarah Carlson, Volunteer Coordinator at 952-361-0309 or by email: scarlson@moraviancare.org
