Volunteer with us

At the heart of For All Ages are amazing volunteers whose commitment and passion change lives. We are currently looking for young adult and adult volunteers to assist us with the planning and execution of our fundraisers as well as with our programs and events. We have virtual volunteer opportunities available!

Studies show that volunteering reduces loneliness and isolation, alleviates stress, and leads to better overall health. And we need your help to bring our programs to life to benefit your neighbors and our communities!

Our volunteers are dynamic individuals dedicated to uniting the generations and improving the health and well-being of the members of our communities. They serve on the board of directors and advisory council, perform bookkeeping/accounting work, help us to design, plan, and roll out new programs, assist us at our programs and events, organize fundraisers, and provide grant writing and media support.

Whether you have just a few hours each month, or are available to help us on a broader scale, we would love to hear from you.

Contact Deb Bibbins at deb.bibbins@forallages.org to find out how you can help us.

Letters of Connection: Intergenerational Story Exchange

Create connections and enrich lives through storytelling!

Engage members of your group in an uplifing, joyful community service project that encourages mutual understanding, connection, and the sharing of wisdom across generations.

A one-time story exchange

Your group writes a story to an older adult/veteran and invites the recipient to respond with a story.

We deliver the cards to older adults

For All Ages provides all materials and supplies, including postage for the older adult to mail his/her card back to your group member. We deliver the cards to older adults with instructions to write back with a story. In a heart-warming exchange, your group members receive cards back from older adults.

Your accompanying donation ensures the success of this volunteer project

We respectfully ask for a donation to support this program. Details will be provided upon request.
