Help City staff and Nutrition volunteers with providing meals to older adults by cleaning prep areas, equipment, and dishes using the commercial dish-washing machine.
Irvine Senior Services at times provides opportunities for high school aged teens (age 14+) to volunteer. To help encourage responsibility, requests to volunteer must be made by the prospective teen volunteer, not the parent. In addition, all required paperwork must be completed by the volunteer. To ensure we are meeting the needs of our senior community, we ask that all volunteers commit to volunteering a minimum of three hours per week for at least three months. The majority of our volunteer opportunities are Monday through Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
