Caregiver Outreach Volunteer

WCCA is providing One-on-One consulting with caregivers in Wright County who are caring for someone with chronic health issues, dementia, or disabilities. Caregiver Consultation involves meeting with a caregiver for multiple sessions with the goal of reducing stress, identifying and solving problems, and reframing difficult situations by working with caregivers to develop coping, problem-solving, and self-care skills. As a volunteer for this program, you will help spread the word, provide outreach, and connect WCCA caregiver consultants to potential clients. Work with local churches or other groups to share our message, inform individuals about Caregiver Consultation, and inform the public about the program. This position requires 6-10 hours each month and is ongoing through 2022. Training will be provided.

Aging Alliance Drive Team

Being a volunteer driver, allows you to volunteer when you are available. Using your own vehicle, transport older adults without transportation to important destinations and be reimbursed $.575/mile for each mile you drive. Your assistance helps older adults without transportation get to medical appointments, shop for groceries, keep personal care appointments, and remain independent in their homes. Reduce isolation and promote independence for our Wright County elders by joining the Aging Alliance Drive Team today!

Aging Alliance Handy Person Team

The Aging Alliance needs Volunteers for doing household improvement projects. If you’re handy, join us as a Handy Person! We are also looking for individuals to mow lawns and shovel snow. Volunteers are needed for one time and ongoing projects. If you or your group would like to volunteer, there are many different needs throughout the year. Register your club, youth group, or organization, for a volunteer outing by contacting our Aging Alliance Program Manager at (320) 963-6500 x 283.

When you assist a WCCA older adult client, you can help reduce falls, improve quality of life, and provide older adults with a safer, healthier home environment.
