AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
From dedicated volunteer to community leader
The Herralink Ambassador Program trains experienced volunteers to serve as life enrichment aides and take on leadership roles within senior living communities.
Ambassadors support life enrichment teams by leading weekly programming and helping manage volunteers. In this leadership role, they help deliver programs that enrich the lives of older adults.
What it means to be a Herralink Volunteer
Being a Herralink Volunteer is about spending time with older adults in a warm and genuine way. You don’t need special skills or experience to make a new friend in this setting. Simply being present, engaging and curious is enough to leave a lasting impression.
During an activity, that might mean playing along, helping someone follow a game, starting a conversation or sitting beside a senior living community resident and enjoying time together. The goal is to have fun and let the connection grow naturally.
