Volunteer Opportunities


Welcome potential volunteers! We are glad you are looking for information about volunteer opportunities in Barrington Village.

Volunteers are the key to a successful village. They are our drivers and our tech and home help. They perform errands, make the check-in calls, and provide friendly visits. It is our volunteers who make our village run!

Volunteers gain a lot from their experience as well. Volunteering brings meaningful connection, a way to meet and make new friends and be involved in the community.
