Masonic Village’s volunteer program offers people of all ages the opportunity to meet fellow volunteers and residents, learn a variety of skills, develop new interests and, of course, feel the satisfaction of helping others. Youth and adult community members and residents assist Masonic Village in spreading our Mission of Love by sharing their time, talents and hearts. Their impact is immeasurable.

We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, and we’ll try to best match your interests with our needs. Volunteers help our residents and staff in countless ways including assisting with recreational activities, creative arts, spiritual care and music therapy; reading mail and writing letters with our residents; hosting at meal times; escorting residents on walks or to in-house appointments; bringing pets for visitations; and just spending time socializing and reminiscing with our residents, who are always looking for someone to share their stories with.

Individual and group opportunities vary from location to location, so please contact your preferred Masonic Village campus below. Thank you for your interest in furthering our mission!

Teens looking to gain experience in a health care environment, make new friends, build their resume and earn service hours for their school or organization can volunteer through the summer program. Interested youth, ages 13 and older, may contact Volunteer Services between April 1 and Memorial Day each year to participate in the program.

Teens are required to attend a full-day orientation (usually held in June) and are asked to volunteer the same day and time each week. Scholarship opportunities are available for graduating seniors from Elizabethtown Area High School who volunteer at least 100 hours with Masonic Village.
