Current Volunteer Needs

You can make a difference! Volunteers just like you share kindness and touch lives here at COA. Here are our current volunteer needs:

Trout Creek (Summer)—Volunteers are requested on an as needed basis during the summer from 8am to 12pm on weekdays as our regularly scheduled volunteers go on vacation. Duties include helping with Bingo, serving the lunch, restocking the bakery and the goodies, and making coffee. This would be a good fit for someone in the Trout Creek area looking to help here and there during the summer rather than on a consistent basis.

Sunshine Center (Marine Street)–Volunteers are needed at our Sunshine Center in Downtown St. Augustine. Duties include assisting staff with activities, serving lunches, cleaning up, and assisting a legally blind person with feeding and some activity interactions. This opportunity is available on Wednesdays 11am-3pm. This is a great way to show dignity and respect to our seniors.

Ponte Vedra Memory Center – We are looking for an IMEP Volunteer on Tuesday mornings. This individual will help to serve snacks and pick-up lunches at Vicars Landing and help with clean-up. Please consider helping with this wonderful program designed for those experiencing early memory loss.

Sign Language Interpreter – We are looking for a Volunteer to help our Deaf Participants at the River House and occasionally at the Coastal Community Center.  Help is needed mostly in the mornings but could be afternoons as well.  We believe that this serve will likely be 2-3 times per month for 1-2 hours.  If you have the time, you can put your very special skills to work and help others.

Ramp Building Crew – We are looking for Volunteers to help with building wheelchair ramps this Spring.  If you have carpentry experience or would like to assist in this worthwhile endeavor, you are encouraged to contact COA to find out more.

Take advantage of these opportunities to fill your empty hours while helping others and making a difference in their lives! For more information or to schedule your interview, please contact COA’s Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@coasjc.org or 904-209-3686.
