There are opportunities for individuals at Goodman Pool throughout the summer.

Volunteers of all ages serve in varied capacities, ranging from occasional special events to recurrent assignments. Volunteers may serve older adults or may work side-by-side with older adults here and in the community.

We feature many intergenerational activities. Scheduled volunteer hours are business hours on weekdays with occasional evening and weekend opportunities. Levels of involvement range from leadership to followship options, and the Volunteer Coordinator can assess and design chances for individual projects.
