Edgewood RN Program
For Fall of 2021 MSC and Edgewood College are looking to pair older adult volunteers with students for a series of discussions, zoom (computer) chats, or phone conversations. The topics will expand beyond medical topics to discussions about: nutrition, recreation, and coping with COVID. This is for general well-being, increased socialization, and mental health check-in for BOTH the student and volunteer.

We want to speak with you to see how we can begin offering healthy aging programming in more languages.

Do you like to perform, but not have the time for a band or long term commitment? We have a number of opportunities for volunteers to play ambiance music for special events throughout the year. We have pianos on site, but welcome other instruments as well.

We are looking for someone once a month for 2–3 hours, between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm. Volunteers could keep any tips they might receive. We prefer a current or retired professional hairstylist.
