Volunteer Opportunities

"Give of your heart's rich overflow..." reads a line from one of our loved hymns (Christian Science Hymnal, no. 427). We know that there are many richly overflowing hearts that would like to give of their time and talents, but may not be aware of the ways to do so. We are genuinely grateful for those who are currently volunteering at Wide Horizon, and we have opportunities for many more to serve. Here are some activities that may be of interest to you:

  • Reading to individuals or groups (either recreational or metaphysical subjects). Bolunteer Opportunities
  • Recording Christian Science literature on tape (out-of-state readers are especially welcome).
  • Conducting testimony meetings on Thursday evenings.
  • Accompanying on the piano on Thursday evenings or at other times during hymn sings or sing-a-longs.
  • Sharing your musical talents (includes dancing).
  • Presenting slide or video programs of your travels.
  • Companioning our guests (includes chatting with them, playing games, etc).
  • Providing maintenance/landscaping assistance (can include: mowing with a riding mower, weeding, light carpentry, floor waxing, and painting).
  • Participating/assisting in special events (sometimes includes activities on Christmas Day or other holidays).
  • Driving on "outings" ($100,000 personal insurance coverage required if using own vehicle).

Whether you're available for an hour once a month, or once a week, your contribution is important to us. We try to work around your schedule, but every "mite" helps tremendously. Our needs do vary from time to time, depending on the needs of our individual guests.

If you would like to find out how your interests might fit in with Wide Horizon's needs, please telephone or e-mail our Volunteer/Activities Coordinator.
