Please complete and return your Volunteer Census Surveys to Community Resources by Friday, March 28th to ensure that you are a registered volunteer! Previously registered volunteers will receive a survey in their cubbies, but additional surveys can be retrieved from lobbies if you did not receive one.
There are numerous reasons why we track volunteer time: (1) we are ensuring we are compliant with all state requirements, (2) it is one of the criteria to maintain Charlestown’s non-profit status, (3) it helps identify successful programs or their needs/opportunities, and (4) we use the registry to include you in volunteer recognition activities like our annual celebration!
Charlestown residents contribute to the community in so many ways that we consider volunteerism, so you might ask yourself, “Am I volunteer?” If you answer “yes” to any of the following possibilities, then YES, you are a volunteer! Do you…
Participate in a volunteer activity with a group? (E.g.: 60-Minute Visitors, CC Activities Assistants/Leaders, Birthday Angels, Treasure Sale)
Participate in a volunteer activity individually? (E.g.: Pet volunteers, wheelchair escorts)
Provide entertainment for Continuing Care and/or Intermissions? (E.g.: Piano players, singers, dancers, recorder players)
Lead or co-lead any club, group or organization?
Support a department or program? (E.g.: run 50/50 tables, ushers, clerical activities, ELLIC, Archives, Library, Sales Ambassadors)
Create items to sell and donate proceeds to Benevolent Care?
Contribute your time/talents to serve the community? (E.g.: Wood Shop repairs, indoor/outdoor cleanup, can recycling)
Contribute as a volunteer in the greater community outside of Charlestown? (E.g. Charlestown-Sandtown Connection, UMD Orthopedic and Rehab Institute)
If you have any questions or concerns about the 2025 Volunteer Census Surveys, please reach out to Allison Chlada, Volunteer Program Coordinator, at x601-8133. Thank you so much to all of our Charlestown Volunteers!
