Rock River Center welcomes volunteers of all ages.  Our goal is to make volunteering a positive experience, while helping the agency meet the needs of older adults and families.

All individuals are asked to complete an application and provide references.  A screening process insures the safety of those we serve; and all volunteers, acting upon agency direction, are provided coverage under the agency liability policy.  Job descriptions are provided.  With the help of volunteers, Rock River Center is able to assist more than 3000 older adults each year.

Whether you are able to give one hour per week or one hour per month, we have a volunteer position for you! 

Various current volunteer opportunities:
