REST HOMES

All programs may now require their own CORI. Most will require a meeting with the volunteer to see what activities would work and what times will work for you and the program residents.

When you call a site remember to tell them that you will be there as a volunteer. Many people forget about Compeer when they haven't had a volunteer for awhile or only had a volunteer occasionally. Also some programs are new to having Compeer volunteers. Enjoy!
