Volunteer

Even the Smallest Things with Great Love


Our volunteers are as much a part of the Saint Therese landscape as our residents, families, visitors and employees. We rely on and value the countless hours and dedication of the many individuals and groups who support our mission by volunteering in our communities. What may seem like a small gift of your time and talents makes an immeasurable difference in so many lives. 

At Saint Therese, we offer a wide array of volunteer opportunities:

  • Be a friendly visitor – make someone’s day extraordinary through reading out loud, writing letters, helping with social media or simply visiting in our beautiful gardens and patios.
  • Help with special events such as parties, picnics or concerts.
  • Share your musical talents. 
  • Visit residents as a registered pet therapy team.
  • Escort residents to and from activities and services. 
  • Be creative! Lead an arts and crafts, writing, sewing or discussion group.
  • Provide hospitality services in reception areas.
  • Tend to community gardens.
  • Play bingo.
  • Volunteer in the gift shop.
  • Join the Saint Therese Auxiliary at Saint Therese of New Hope.
