We are pleased to announce our Volunteer Orientation on
Wednesday, March 21 from 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in San Rafael at 4340 Redwood Hwy, Suite F-138.
-Agency History and Mission: We will start the training with a brief overview of our history and mission, designed to empower, enhance, and equip our volunteers with talking points and answers to questions members may raise during your volunteer experience.
-Dashboard Overview: Learn best-practices for navigating our online volunteer matching software we call the Dashboard. Bring your smartphone, laptop, or iPad to the orientation and we'll make sure you're squared away with logging into your device.
-Transporting Older Adults and Transferring Ambulatory Aides:
Gain the confidence and skills needed to safely transport and assist older adults with their transportation needs. We will review how to properly store, transport, and operate different devices like walkers, canes and crutches to ensure the safety of both member and volunteer. Safety Awareness: We will review fall prevention tips, how to be mindful and identify hazardous pathways (in our homes and out in the community), learn to pace ourselves as we walk, and discuss general safety awareness tips to help us age in place with peace of mind.
