RMC is looking to fill a position to serve as an Activities Aide for Older Adults living in a nursing home. No clinical experience is needed.

The RMC volunteer will have the opportunity to lead their own activities with residents including trivia games, bingo, and cooking and visit with the residents for one-on-one attention. You might be surprised by the meaningful friendships you form with these residents!

Redeemer Ministry Corps is sponsored by the Sisters of the Redeemer carrying out their mission to be a caring, comforting and healing presence to vulnerable populations. The Redeemer Ministry Corps volunteers are men and women who desire to make a difference in the lives of others. They live in community and have the opportunity to foster their faith life, develop friendships and live simply. RMC volunteers serve full time in ministries sponsored by the Sisters and join the Sisters once a week for community dinner and prayer. Ministry placements are tailored to fit the skills and gifts of the volunteers, as well as to meet the needs of the sites in which they serve.

Benefits:
Volunteers receive a monthly stipend ($100), a shared car to use for the year, money for gas, room and board, health insurance, opportunities for spiritual growth (retreats, spiritual direction) and grocery money.
