Agency: Engage

Description:

A HOIE Project Do you enjoy making crafts? If so, then EngAge wants you! The elderly citizens of the Portofino Villas in Pomona love to receive visitors, but don't often get them. Here's your chance to make a difference and develop a rewarding relationship with someone who will deeply value your company. 

EngAge is a non profit organization who's vision is to make aging a beginning. They provide life-enhancing programs to low- and moderate-income seniors living in affordable apartment communities in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The programs give the residents the opportunity to continue to grow intellectually, creatively and emotionally. The idea is to promote active engagement and independent living, and to provide seniors with a purpose.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have their parent or guardian complete a HOIE Liability and Release form for Minors. For more information and to download the form, Click here.
