At Kensington Park, Our Promise is to love and care for our residents as we do our own family. We invite you to join us in bringing that Promise to life through volunteering.

Our Kensington Park Volunteer Program is dedicated to celebrating the spirit of connection and friendship. Whether you’re a skilled artist, a talented musician, or a compassionate listener, there’s something for everyone and room to grow! Become a Kensington Park volunteer and share your passions, sharpen your skills and grow personally and professionally.

As a volunteer, you’ll have the chance to make meaningful connections with our residents and team members, gain valuable transferable skills, contribute to the emotional wellness of our residents, and create positive change in your community. 

We are seeking passionate volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Our volunteering opportunities include but are not limited to:

• Students: Assist and support our Life Enrichment Team with games and small group activities and programs. Provide some technical assistance with tablets, cell phones and computers.
• College Interns: Support our Life Enrichment Team in planning social activities, entertainment, relaxation, and possibly improving daily living skills. 
• Adults: Participate in a wide variety of campus wide events throughout the year such as bartending, leading lectures or workshops, music or art classes, small group discussions, reading or fitness activities. Assist with holiday or themed events and parties.
