The following are some of the volunteer opportunities currently open in Freeborn County. If you can help with any of them or would like to volunteer for other things, call Pat Stumme, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program director, at Senior Resources, 377-7433.

Crime Victims Crisis Center: Newly trained volunteers are needed to work with crime victims. Help with group sessions, carry the emergencies cell phone one or two evenings or weekends a month. Training is free, requires no previous experience and runs from March 19 to May 14, Monday evenings. Call 377-5464 and ask for Michelle to request more details and an application form.

Mentors: Community Mentor Connection really needs male mentors for boys at risk. This could work well for you and your spouse as an opportunity to give back in our community and change a child’s life. Spend an hour or two a week sharing positive role models with a child. Many group activities are planned for everyone with costs covered and training provided. Contact Carolyn Smith at 877-232-8399 or starsforkids@yahoo.com.

Cards Anyone?: Looking for a fourth to play 500 or Bridge? Please call Pat at Senior Resources 377-7433 for details. Your card group needs to be mobile to go to Broadway Board and Care where the request has come for a fellow who’s ready for some great card playing once or twice a month.

RSVP, a program of Senior Resources of Freeborn County, receives some funding through the United Way of Freeborn County, the Minnesota Board on Aging and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
