Volunteer at the Jaisohn Center

Why Volunteer? Volunteering is important because it fosters a sense of community, helps those in need, and allows individuals to contribute to causes they care about. It builds skills, enhances personal growth, and creates connections. Through volunteering, people can make a positive impact on society while gaining a deeper understanding of social issues and developing a greater sense of empathy.

Senior Adult Volunteers

Volunteering is important for seniors as it offers opportunities to stay active, engaged, socially connected and allows them to utilize their skills and experiences to give back to the community. This can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment, combat feelings of isolation and loneliness and promote mental and physical well-being.

Jaisohn Wellness Center Senior Community Center members wanted to volunteer and help instead of just being served per our Asian Culture. They support us at various events, help during the Senior Center’s lunch and Wellness Walk Program, and they also upgraded the Taegeukgi Flower Bed and garden at the Jaisohn Memoral House. They shared that they feel “HAPPY” by volunteering and serving people.

Youth Volunteers

We believe that it is important to cultivate future community leaders as early as possible, so we offer opportunities for junior and senior high school students to volunteer in the community and take part in civic engagement. Our youth have participated in Food Drives, Covid-19 Vaccine Clinics, Health Fairs, Rallies against Violence and Anti-Asian Hate, Census 2020 Eduction and outreach, First Korean Congress Centennial Celebration, Korean American Day, etc.
