Current Volunteer Opportunities!!

Experience our Community & Elders program in action. We are currently looking for more volunteers to participate in the Wells Fargo Community & Elders group that visits a nursing home in Arvada once a month. This is a fun, upbeat, one-hour volunteer opportunity. You are welcome to bring children of any age along. Starting in July, we will be visiting the third Saturday of each month from 10:30 - 11:45. To RSVP, please contact Kelly Ragland at 303-830-9035 or at kelly@bessieshope.org.

With expanding programs, there are many administrative tasks to do.Whether it's coming the office once a week, once a month, or working on mailing and phone calls from home, we need and appreciate the help. Volunteers in this area help fulfill our mission just as much as individuals who volunteer in elder care facilities.
