Volunteer Opportunities at Avera Brady Assisted Living

The Avera Queen of Peace Volunteer Services program offers a variety of opportunities enabling adults and teenagers to join a vital and important group who have made a volunteer commitment to the hospital, Avera Brady, and the Avera Queen of Peace Hospitality House. Patient/resident support services, staff assistance, and family/visitor interaction are among the various assignment areas for our volunteers.

  • Musical Program - Vocal, instrumental, school or Sunday school groups are welcome to share their talents with us any time.
  • Letter Writing - It is hard for some residents to write due to arthritis or other ailments, thuse we need volunteers to help write their family and friend correspondence.  This can be done any time of the day or evening.
  • Newspaper Readers - Newspaper print is difficult for some residents to read.  They need someone to read it to them.  This can be done at any time of the day or evening.
  • One to One Visition - Do you like to read novels, the Bible, poetry?  Would you be willing to read to bed bound residents and/or discuss contents?  This can be done any time of the day.
  • BINGO Callers - Every Wednesday and Sunday at 3:30 p.m.  Time commitment is 1-1 1/2 hours.
  • Animal Visits - If your pet is up-to-date with its immunizations, bring them in for a visit!  The residents love to see and play with cats, dogs, bunnies, etc.  We do need to limit reptiles so please check with activities before coming.  You and your pet can perform or just visit any time other than mealtimes.
  • Games Host/Hostess - Residents enjoy games.  Currently their favorites are Kings Corner, Dominos and Pitch.  They would enjoy someone organizing and getting folks together to play.  They are willing to learn new games if you're willing to teach!  Game times are best scheduled between 2:30 and 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.
  • Educational Speakers or Discussion Groups - Do you have a speech coming up and want to practice on someone?  We would love volunteers to present to the residents and possibly to hold a discussion regarding the topic afterwards.  If you have a hobby that you would like to share with us, that would be great too!  This is best scheduled late afternoon or early evening.
  • EDEN Projects or Teams - Additional information >>

Any talent or time you are willing to share we would love the opportunity to match!
