Volunteerism has been at the heart of Waveny for more than 100 years.
The tradition continues as we welcome volunteers to help provide the enrichment and support that makes Waveny such a special place.
You can enrich the lives of our seniors throughout Waveny’s continuum of healthcare services and residences and the New Canaan Thrift Shop, which supports our Patient Care Fund!
As a Waveny volunteer, you will become part of a vibrant and caring team, welcomed and deeply appreciated by our residents, staff and fellow volunteers.
Our volunteer program is designed to match your interests/personal goals with the needs of those in our care. We welcome all ages and abilities, including teens. Our flexible schedule and range of activities will allow you to make maximum impact with the time you would like to share.
