The mission of Youville Place is to provide a secure home environment and an
array of personal care services which promote the dignity and well-being of all
residents, while celebrating each person’s individual spirit. The volunteer
program at Youville Place is enthusiastically supported by the Recreation
Department.
Currently, volunteers teach individual computer classes, play cards, help with craft groups, give individual support to residents, lead discussion groups, share their musical talents, and accompany residents and staff on community outings. The volunteers add a special dimension to life at Youville Place and are welcomed by staff and residents alike.
