What is involved when volunteering at a rehabilitation center?

Posted on December 24th, 2009 by admin in center of volunteers | 1 Comment »

I am a senior in High school and applying to become a volunteer at my town’s rehabilitation and care center (people of all ages not just drugs and alcohol). Has any one done this before? and what can I expect and what are some daily things I would be asked to do?

You could help with activities such as assisting patients to participate in games. You could pass ice water. Help people read mail. There’s a variety of things you can help with. The key to a good experience though is to let them know up front what you would feel comfortable doing and also letting them know what you would not like to do. This is a very rewarding experience as you really have the opportunity to help someone and make a difference. Good luck
