Volunteering
Caring Carroll is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in December 2007, that matches trained volunteers to assist with the non-medical needs of older, isolated adults, 60+ years of age in Carroll County, MD, with limited resources, who wish to remain living independently.
Once Volunteers are trained and background checked, they are enrolled in the Assisted Rides software program and start receiving emails if available opportunities to serve the seniors in Caring Carroll. Volunteers only offer to take assignments they want and the system automatically gives the volunteer the information needed to reach out to the care receiver. The volunteer calls the care receivers and plans are established to get the service provided. Once the service is completed the volunteer logs into Assisted Rides and reports it as completed along with any other necessary comments.
Some volunteers are retired or work part-time, some are stay-at-home moms who volunteer while their kids are in school, and some are college students looking for some real-world experience.
Most volunteers are matched with someone who lives close to them, so it's convenient and easy to volunteer. Other volunteers choose to help multiple care receivers with one-time tasks when they have free time. Volunteering with Caring Carroll is flexible and rewarding! You determine your own availability. Volunteers must be adults 18 and over. Groups and families are welcome.
Many more people are waiting for help – for a ride to the doctor, help with housekeeping, or just a friendly visit. Caring Carroll wants to help – but we can’t do it without you! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or volunteering with your church or youth group, please contact Caring Carroll.
We have many volunteers who are willing to talk with you and share their experiences with us. Just call us and we will have them give you a call.
