Get Involved: Senior Center

We are looking for people who can be available at the beginning and end of months to setup and takedown art displays in the hallway of the Senior Center.  

Work would involve standing for extended periods of time to hang or remove art work and possibly using a ladder.  There will be a staff member from the Senior Center directing the project.

This will be an on-call position where we will contact you when we have displays to put up and take down.

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 will 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 will initially be staffed every Wednesday from 10 - 12 starting in June with the possibility of expanding to different days in the future.  

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

We are looking for someone to visit the Senior Center who can refill our bird feeders once a week all year long and water our patio planters twice a week from late Spring until early Fall.

We will provide instructions on these tasks.  You will need to be able to pull a garden hose around the patio to reach planters.  

You can develop your own schedule to do this; however, we would like to see consistent times each week.

We are looking for a person to be a backup lead our weekly discussion group "Donut Make U Wonder" when our regular facilitator is not available. This group meets every Friday from 10 - 11 at the Senior Center.  We discuss current subjects and related personal experiences.  Matters related to religion and politics are avoided to ensure comradery.  Meetings begin with a brief song and end with a few share jokes.

You will be responsible for picking up the donuts before the meeting and bringing a short list of topics to each meeting as well as starting the discussions.  Training will be provided.  

It's lots of fun and the stories are always great.  We hope you'll join us!
