A new way to be part of the Village

Village Volunteer Corps

You do not have to be an SVP member to help a neighbor get to an appointment, tackle yard work, or simply stop by for a visit. Village Volunteer Corps members are neighbors showing up for neighbors who could use a hand.

Prefer to talk it through first? Call us and we will walk you through the options.

SVP Volunteers 
Ways to Help

Give the kind of time you have

Some volunteers drive. Some fix a leaky faucet or mow a lawn. Some just show up for coffee. Whatever you are good at, there is a neighbor who could use it.

Give someone a ride

Doctors appointments, errands, and social visits are one of our biggest volunteer needs.

Help around the house

Yard work, light repairs, moving furniture, and other tasks that are harder to manage alone.

Sort out tech trouble

A confusing phone update or a printer that will not connect. A little patience goes a long way.

Pay a friendly visit

A regular phone call or a front porch chat can be the best part of someones week.

Run errands or help at events

Grocery pickups, prescription runs, or lending a hand at an SVP gathering.

Lend office support

Behind the scenes help with paperwork, calls, or projects that keep the Hub running smoothly.

Who We Are Looking For

You do not need to be a member to join

Adults of any age who want to support older neighbors are welcome, including college students, working professionals, retirees, and anyone with a bit of time and a good heart.

Comfortable with light physical tasks like yard work or moving furniture
