become a volunteer
Volunteerism is a cornerstone of the Village model, drawing upon the untapped capacity of people in our communities to support each other.
Ashby Village has a “volunteer-first” policy, finding a qualified volunteer to fulfill a request before referring members to a professional provider.
Ashby Village volunteers include members (and their children and grandchildren!), students, empty nesters, retirees.
