MOW delivery opportunities (On-going) – Available opportunities: Hastings on Tuesdays and West St. Augustine on Tuesdays. The meals are to be picked up at our Marine Street location in Downtown St. Augustine between 9am and 10:30am. Please let us know if you have an interest in serving our seniors by providing meals.

Sunshine Center (Marine Street) – If you are a gifted singer and/or musician (keyboard, guitar or any other instrument), our Sunshine Center is in need of someone with your talent. This volunteer would lead our small group of approximately 18 people in our Adult Day Care program’s “Move to the Music” time with an old time or popular sing-along on Tuesdays from 1:15-2:30pm. Please let us know if you are interested in sharing your gifts and talents with our seniors.

Coastal Community Senior Center (Marine Street) –We are looking for a volunteer for Monday through Friday from 9am to 11am. This individual would tend to our donation closet and set up the monthly raffle. If you enjoy organizing items and socializing in large group settings, this would be a great role for you.

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 and someone that wants to fill in when needed. 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! For more information or to schedule your interview, please contact COA’s Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@coasjc.org or (904) 209-3686.
