Get Involved: Senior Center

We are looking for a few outgoing people to staff our new Conversation Corner at the Senior Center starting in June.  You will staff a table in the lounge at the Center where people will be able to stop by and have a conversation.  

The people who fill this position must be outgoing and able to start and maintain conversations about a variety of topics.  The people who stop by to visit may be looking for assistance with the Recreator, resources for aging in Fort Collins or just looking for a friend with whom they can have a chat.

The Conversation Corner is currently staffed every Wednesday from 10 - 12 (for which we currently have a volunteer).  However, we are considering expanding to other times and days and would like to have reliable backups available should we do this.

Training will be provided as well as transcripts that you can use in your discussions.

Please note that this is an on-going position and applicants must be able to commit to an extended period of time for this position.

We have an opening for a backup leader of the Donut Make You Wonder discussion group that meets on Friday mornings from 10 - 11 the 1st 3 weeks of every month. Training with the current leader will be provided.

The leader will prepare discussion topics ahead of each meeting as well as pick up the donuts for the meeting.  Topics include current subjects and related personal experiences.  Matters related to religion and politics are avoided to ensure comradery.  Meetings end with a few shared jokes.  

Leader will present the topics and keep the discussions moving.  An outgoing, friendly person will fill this position nicely.  You must also be able to commit to this volunteer opportunity for an extended period of time.
