Volunteers of every age make a positive impact each day in the lives of the seniors at Norwood Crossing and the clients of Norwood Seniors Network. If you're interested in giving back some of your valuable time to a great cause, please click the banner below and visit our newly redesigned volunteer program. We're very proud to support norVOLution and the amazing work of the many volunteers who help each and every day!

For years, our volunteers have made a difference in the lives of those they serve. With norVOLution, however, we want to revolutionize the way we think about volunteers and volunteering. Our goal is to make volunteering not only fun and rewarding for you as a volunteer, but to go beyond that and concentrate on strengthening the fabric of the community around us. In addition, the folks we usually serve will also have an opportunity to give back on their terms as senior volunteers participating in individual service and group projects.

Are you interested in making a difference in your life and the lives of seniors in the community? 

At norVOLution we are mission-driven and our vision is an important part of that. We are sponsored by Norwood Life Society; a 501c(3) organization dedicated to enhancing the independence and well-being of older adults. Part of that enhancement is providing meaningful volunteer experiences for all members of our community; with a focus on creating or providing volunteer opportunities specifically for older adults who are looking to give back. 

Vision: Our vision is to grow and strengthen our volunteer efforts to: 1) provide more services to our senior clientele, 2) enhance the lives of our volunteers, particularly mature adults, and 3) be of service to the broader community. 

Values Statement: We are committed and passionate about the work we do. We respect the personal contribution of each individual and honor the impact they make. We respect our neighbors and work with them to improve the community in which we all reside. We value volunteers for the friendly, caring spirit that has characterized this organization for over 100 years.

Volunteer opportunities are available in many areas, seven days a week. If you have a few hours to spare, we welcome your interest!
