An orientation session will then be scheduled to help familiarize you with Finlandia Village, to provide you with an overview of how the Life Enrichment Department operates, as well as to prepare you for your volunteer role.
Once the required documents are submitted and your Village Volunteer orientation is complete, we will proceed with a tour of the facility, introductions to residents, to staff and fellow volunteers as well as a job shadow for your first volunteer visit.
We look forward to meeting you, and remember… The life you enrich may be your own!
