Help bring 'Legacies to Life' for and older generation of clients at Jewish Care.

The Active Living Centre in St Kilda Rd has embarked on a significant and worthwhile program that you can be a part of.

With your commitment, patience, empathy, creativity and emotional support, you will assist clients to share their stories. Both the journey and the outcome will not only be meaningful for them (and you) but for the generations that follow.

Your voluntary role will include one on one support to clients, as they embark on recalling their joyous, emotional, and possibly confronting journey's. You will be supporting important projects, which include : - life book/journal writing - creating family trees - creating memory boxes and - bringing in personal artefacts -  scrap booking project of family life - designing and creating self portraits

Groups will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays 1-3pm. If you can give your time to either or both of these sessions, please contact us.

As a volunteer, you will be , and scribing dictated stories, assisting with art activities providing an emotional and physical presence within the group.

Jewish Care will undertake a police check and reference checks as a part of the on boarding process, and will provide orientation and ongoing training as required.

By volunteering you time to support others through their personal journeys – you may just be enriching your own!
