You can make a difference! Volunteers just like you share kindness and touch lives here at COA. Here are our current volunteer needs:
Care Connection (Administrative) –A volunteer Office Assistant is needed on Mondays from 9am to noon at 180 Marine Street in downtown St. Augustine. Individual must be comfortable answering phones as well as interacting with clients in person. Familiarity with Microsoft Excel/Google sheets is helpful. May need to lift heavy objects such as pet food but this is not essential.
IMEP (Anastasia Baptist Church)–Our Memory Center at ABC is in need of volunteers on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tuesday is from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, Wednesday is from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Sunshine Center (Art) –Volunteer simple art project leader needed (about a 3rd grade level, but geared for adults with special needs) in our Adult Day Program on Mondays from 1:15 to 2:15. We have a large inventory of supplies to be used.
Sunshine Center (Assistant)–Volunteer 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 Mondays & Fridays 11am-4pm. This is a great way to show dignity and respect to our seniors.
Cutters and Clippers—Our Care Connection program is looking for interested volunteers to assist in basic lawn care and maintenance on Thursdays 8am-12pm. This kind of service helps local seniors remain in their own homes where they are most comfortable, rather than being compelled to enter assisted living for lack of assistance.
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 Fall. If you 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.
