Our volunteer program has been going
strong since 1983! Our groups, clubs,
activities, and individuals represent the broad range of life interests and experiences. As a
Hollin Hall Senior Center volunteer you will be considered essential to the
success of the program you are working for.
You have the opportunity to make your own personal mark on the center’s
success. In return for your services
Hollin Hall hosts a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon in April along with a
spectacular show performed by Hollin Hall Staff! In addition, you have an opportunity to
become an “ambassador” for the active and healthy senior adult in our community.

Mission of Hollin Hall Volunteer
Program
Our volunteer program ties in with
Community and Recreation’s (CRS) purpose and that is to connect people and
communities through programs, community outreach, and special initiatives that
address our community’s needs. In developing
our programs, we rely on participation from people in the community. Our community councils provide program input
and guidance for centers, including Hollin Hall. CRS programs offer something for everyone.
