At A Little Help, we believe in the strength of intergenerational connections to support and uplift our older adults. Our non-profit relies on the goodwill and dedication of neighbors of all ages who generously give their time and passion to connect and assist older adults in their community.
Our volunteers embody the spirit of giving 'a little help' by lending a hand with tasks around the home and yard, or simply brightening someone's day with a friendly social call or visit. But it doesn't end there – the beauty of our connection lies in its reciprocity. As our older neighbors share their invaluable mentorship and wisdom, they enrich the lives of younger members of A Little Help.
A Little Help’s mission is connecting neighbors throughout Colorado to help older adults thrive. As a volunteer providing services, we invite you to engage where your passions lie. There are a variety of ways to get involved, including direct service, social engagement, and outreach. Volunteering with A Little Help is flexible to fit your schedule and interests.
We provide opportunities for teens and younger volunteers to be involved as well. As a Colorado nonprofit organization, we can provide students with school community service hours, and we are happy to complete the necessary paperwork to show their participation.
