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.  

Lunch Service

Join us at the Lakeview Senior Center for lunch in the Rose Garden Cafe. Reservations are required and must be made by 10 a.m. two business days in advance. Reservations can be made in person at Lakeview Senior Center or by calling 949-724-6916.
