Making a positive contribution

Volunteering can be an ideal way to develop new skills, gain confidence and have fun.  At Benetas, we have a variety of flexible programs available to help students get involved in community service activities.

What can young people can offer?

It’s amazing the positive impact that the energy of young people can have on older people - their visits are often the highlight of the day.

There are many ways students have participated in the past including:

• Performing musicals and drama shows, and playing musical instruments
• Teaching new technology to older people such as using computers and even Nintendo Wii!
• Contributing to newsletters and talking to residents about their life stories
• Assisting with physical activities
• Playing games and other activities
