Agency: Culver Village Assisted Living

Description: Once a month, L.A. Works volunteers provide companionship and support to the seniors of Culver Village Assisted Living. Volunteers visit with seniors in the facility, working together on art & craft activities, playing games (Bingo!), conducting sing-a-longs, and sharing stories. Many of the senior residents do not get regular visitors, so the time that volunteers spend with them can make an important difference in their day.

Culver Village Assisted Living is a community of 110 retirees and seniors, providing a supportive environment that includes health services and social activities for its residents.

Age Requirement: Volunteers for this project must be at least 8 years of age.

Minors: Any volunteer under the age of 18 will need to bring and have signed by a parent/guardian a Volunteer Agreement & Release for Minors. Volunteers under 13 years of age will also need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Federal Law prohibits volunteers under the age of 13 from registering on-line. To sign up a family member under the age of 13, sign yourself up and then email the project leader directly to let her/him know. Or, form a family volunteer team, include your children as team members, and then sign your team up for the project.

Accessibility: L.A. Works firmly believes that we strengthen the social fabric of our community by involving all in service. If you feel you need accommodations to participate in this project please email us at info@laworks.com.
