Volunteer/Teach a Class

Volunteer

The Opportunity Company

You Can Make a Difference!

The Opportunity Company needs your help! We are looking for volunteers throughout Lincoln and Wayne County, WV, who are able to share their time and talent to help with a wide range of everyday tasks and critical needs. No special skills are required –- just your time and a sincere willingness to make a difference.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” —Elizabeth Andrew

Teach a Class

Do you have a specific talent, skill, or knowledge in a particular area? Consider becoming a volunteer teacher! We would love to add new classes and creative activities at our six senior centers throughout Lincoln and Wayne County.

Our seniors are highly engaged, interested in a broad range of subject matter, and open to learning new skills that can enrich their lives. This makes the experience enjoyable for all. This is a great opportunity for college students who are studying to teach and an ideal platform for improving public speaking, communication, and interpersonal skills, as well as for individuals of all ages and backgrounds who have something they would like to share. Scheduling is flexible and there are minimal time limitations, so you can schedule classes as time permits. Whether you are able to teach a one-time workshop or offer your talent on a regular basis, our seniors greatly appreciate your effort. No teaching certification, experience, or curriculum is required, just a standard background check. We welcome you to come as you are and share what you know!

Volunteer Opportunities

If you enjoy helping others and can spare some time or you’re looking for a way to give back, please consider volunteering to help our seniors. From lending an ear to listen once in a while to sharing a skill to helping meet a critical need, your kindness is sincerely appreciated by the seniors we help. Many have no one else they can rely on.

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” —Oscar Wilde

Community Support Projects

Are you or your group interested in rolling up your sleeves to provide direct help? You can donate your time and talent directly to help a local senior in need. We encourage local individuals, church groups, and businesses to connect with each other to help some of our most vulnerable community members. We welcome your participation in our existing community engagement projects, as well as ideas for projects that would benefit our older community members. Ongoing needs include assisting seniors and individuals with disabilities with a wide range of small but critical needs, as well as fulfilling special requests for help with the things that can make life a little more enjoyable.

Critical Needs

Requested necessities often include:


• Help Mowing a Lawn
• Help Repairing a Broken Step
• Help Fixing a Leaky Faucet
• Other Small House Repairs

Special Wish Requests

Special Wish Requests may include such things as:


• Help with a Painting Project
• Help Baking a Special Meal
• Help Planting Flowers or a Vegetable Garden
• Help Organizing a Pantry
• and Other Things of This Sort

If you or your group are able to make a half-day or full-day commitment to help a neighbor in need, please include a comment to let us know what type of project you would like to work on, your location, whether or not you will be donating the supplies/materials for the project, and the date(s) you are available. In most cases, volunteers are asked to bring their own personal tools and equipment. If you have a specific skill you would like to volunteer on a regular or as-needed basis, please let us know.
