Do you have to be a Missoula Villages member to volunteer?

No!  We would love to have your help.  There are so many ways that volunteers can make a difference in the lives of our older Missoula residents.  Please check out our Volunteer Page and sign up by checking the areas in which you feel you are qualified to help others. 

Check out our Benefits of Volunteering; it is a wonderful way to be a part of a great community. There are no fees associated with being a volunteer for either Missoula Villages or Missoula Aging Services.  There is a requirement of a background check which is paid for by our organization. 

We do have some limitations/requirements for volunteers:

• We are not able to use volunteers who need to fulfill court appointed community service requests.
• We need a commitment long-term committment for at least a few hours a week. 
• We are not able to fullfill requests to volunteer for just a few hours to fullfill a class or other requirement as background checks are too costly.
• Volunteers must be at least 19 years of age.

If you have a parent, parents or relatives, living in our service area who are beginning to need more of your time, the Missoula Villages program might be a special gift for them and you.  You can team up with the many other Missoula Villages and Missoula Aging Services Volunteers who give of their time a few hours every week or month.  By helping us, you help yourself by volunteering on your schedule rather than the schedule of your loved ones.  Other volunteers will help when you can't and, in return, you help all of us.

If you have a special skill that is not listed, let us know by checking the "Other" box and filling in your volunteer skill.  We would love to have your help.

If you still have questions feel free to send us a message at [email protected].

Thank you.
