Volunteers are the heart and soul of Methow At Home
Local volunteers, often members themselves, play a vital role in carrying out the mission of Methow At Home.
Join the Methow At Home Volunteer Team
Day after day, our volunteers, often members themselves, make a difference by cleaning, cooking, driving, or just bringing a friendly smile.
We recognize the value of your time and we will do everything we can to make your volunteer experiences gratifying and fulfilling. Our community values your service so much.

*Please note that all volunteers are required to have a background check, a current valid WA state driver's license, and proof of auto liability insurance (if you volunteer to provide transportation).
Guardian Angels
Guardian Angels cultivate a more personal relationship with an individual member, creating a bond of support and trust.
The responsibilities of Guardian Angels vary based on the interest and skills of the volunteer and on the specific needs of the individual client.
The Guardian Angel is a broader and more consistent volunteer commitment. Extra training and reporting are required.
Reach out if you are ready to take this important step!

Social Respite Care
Methow At Home volunteers can do additional training to provide Social Respite care and companionship that gives a temporary break for the primary care partner, providing supervision and companionship for a member for up to two 4-hour shifts per week.
MAH is not health care or medical services provider and cannot provide personal care, administer medication, or provide the kind of services that professional nurses provide when caregiving.

Creative Aging
Methow Creative Aging is a Dementia-Friendly Arts Engagement Program for adults living with dementia and care partners.
Volunteers participating in this free training will learn to lead art activities while employing methods to promote a joyful experience for care partners and people living with dementia or other challenges.
The Methow Creative Aging volunteers bring hands-on arts expression into Jamie’s Place adult residence, at Memory Care Café events, and into individual homes for people living with dementia and their care partners.

“I spent a delightful two hours with a member while his spouse attended the session for caregivers of people with dementia.
After learning about his music background, while we experimented with clay and watercolors, we sang beloved oldies together. It was a very lovely experience - one that we both benefited from.”
—Carol R. Methow At Home Volunteer
