The Experience

At Refugio de Vida we are looking for empathetic volunteers who want to make a positive impact on the lives of older adults. They will assist with recreational activities, cognitive stimulation, companionship, and events. No experience is required, only commitment, respect, and a positive attitude. You will experience a cultural exchange while contributing to the well-being and active aging of our residents.💙
