We're Growing Our Small but Mighty Board Team!

Do you believe seniors deserve better?

Do you get frustrated seeing older adults struggle to access the support they need to remain safe, independent, and connected in their own homes?

Or maybe you have professional skills, lived experience, community connections, or simply a desire to make a meaningful difference.

More at Home Society is a BC-based charity helping low- and moderate-income seniors access the home support services they need to age safely and with dignity. We provide financial assistance for home care, connect seniors to community resources, and advocate for those who fall into the "grey area" between public and private care. Our goal is simple: help seniors stay where they want to be most... at home.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for passionate Board Members to join our amazing team.

We're especially interested in:

• Seniors and retirees who want to share their wisdom and lived experience • Professionals with skills in finance, law, healthcare, fundraising, marketing, HR, governance, business development, technology, or communications
• Community builders and advocates who care about fairness, dignity, and social change
• People who may not have board experience but have heart, commitment, and a willingness to learn

Why join us?
Because right now, too many seniors are forced to choose between paying for care and paying for necessities. Many are isolated, struggling, or facing the possibility of forcibly leaving their homes for institutions simply because they cannot access enough support.

As a Board Member, you'll help shape a growing organization that is tackling these challenges head-on. You'll contribute ideas, expertise, and leadership that directly impact the lives of seniors across British Columbia.

What you'll gain:
• The opportunity to create meaningful change
• Leadership and governance experience
• Connections with passionate community leaders
• The satisfaction of knowing your contributions help seniors live with dignity, choice, and independence.

You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to care.

If you're looking for a meaningful way to give back, use your skills, challenge injustice, and be part of something growing, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us today and help us create a future where every senior has the support they need to age safely at home. Interested?

We would love to hear from you!

Compassionate Neighbours seeks to support isolated seniors by providing opportunities for social connection.

We are in need of both male and female volunteers to visit our aging men and women on a weekly basis.

Volunteers are matched with a senior with whom they visit on a weekly basis.  The purpose of these connections is to check in regularly with the senior as well as to provide a positive friendly connection for them.

This opportunity provides some flexibility and allows you to choose a time and place to connect that is convenient for you and your senior participant, usually between Mon-Fri.  Volunteers typically connect with their senior on a weekly basis, and visits can range from a 30-60 minute in-person conversation, or a quick 10-15 min check-in phone call.

This opportunity is available to anyone, including students in need of volunteer hours, youth considering a career in health care or working with seniors, and adults with a few spare hours each month.

Your time spent volunteering will be logged each month in order to provide recognition at the end of your time volunteering with us or on request for education or employment references after a minimum 20 hours.

There is also limited availability for connections by phone or video call, but most seniors prefer in-person visits.
