| Volunteers -- Touch Lives and Lift Spirits.
Generous, compassionate, devoted, caring, and energetic. If any of these words describe you, then you have the characteristics of a volunteer and C. A. Dean would love to have you join our volunteer support staff. Last year, over 200 volunteers provided over 6000 hours of service at C. A. Dean.
Volunteers provide the following valuable services in our organization and the community. They provide companionship, transportation, support, assist in letter writing, and lead activities. Other volunteers have planted flowerbeds and landscaped, worked on computer projects, and provided clerical support.
As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to learn new skills, develop lasting friendships, and take pleasure in knowing you are helping others. Follow these links for more information or contact us at 207-695-5260 and ask to speak with the Volunteer Coordinator.
