Volunteer with ARC

Our Volunteers Play a Crucial Role in the Day-to-Day Success of ARC

Volunteers help us fulfill our mission of providing seniors in our community a friendly, supportive atmosphere in which to stay active, to socialize, and to receive the health support and assistance services they need to have a successful aging experience.  Staff will help you find the volunteer opportunity that fits your interests and schedule.  Ongoing volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to:    


  • East Desk Member Service Representative: Answering ARC member phone calls and registering members for programs on GymMaster. Must have computer skills. Other tasks may be assigned. 
  • Front Greeter: Greeting members, directing members to proper rooms, attendance tally, answering member questions, and tours 
  • Library Attendants: Keep the shelves orderly and process donations.  This is more of a sharing library than a check out library.  No need to bring books back! 
  • Gardening: Assist with watering plants and maintaining landscape areas. 
  • Teach a class or lead a program/activity 


For more information, please contact Jeanne Whitehill at jwhitehill@normaltownship.org or by phone at 309-888-9099 or fill out the form below. Volunteer applications can be filled out at ARC.  Once application is received, you will be contacted for an interview and time to chat with Jeanne.
