Volunteering at the Inter-community Care Center gave me the opportunity to work with an amazing demographic of people.
Opportunities Meaningful Moments
At the site I met many residents and was able to interact with them. I was given the opportunity to be their BINGO host and pass out candy or tokens when it was appropriate. I was also able to host arts and crafts, interacting closely with them. I also was able to participate in morning exercises, being part of the group and laughing alongside with them.
Meaningful Moments
My favorite activity I was able to be part of was serving coffee and having a conversation with the residents. I was able to learn what their interest were, as well as what they valued. Many just wanted to sit and drink coffee and enjoy the company of others and others very much would want to interact, inviting me to do a puzzle with them.
