The more than 150 Jones-Harrison volunteers, or associates, play a significant role here every day. They spend time with residents and assist staff witheveryday tasks, special projects and events.

Volunteer individually or form a group consisting of friends, co-workers or church members. We also have a Junior Program, which is great way for younger people to build fascinating relationships. Schools often bring students over, and many scout troops have adopted Jones-Harrison. If you’re interested in volunteering at Jones-Harrison, click here for an application.

Types of Volunteers
We want your experience as a volunteer to be rewarding, so you are free to choose the position you would enjoy. That may be in a long-term or short-term role, for as many hours as you’d choose to spend each month. We have two overall categories of volunteers:

A Governance Associate takes part in the Jones-Harrison Board of Directors. This group establishes overall policy and direction. Committees are assigned specific responsibilities and new committees are formed as needed. It’s a demanding yet highly rewarding position!

Service Associates share their time and talents in any way they know how. Check out our list of volunteer opportunities, or simply follow your passion and share it with us at JHR. There's complete flexibility here.
