Weekly Group Volunteer Program

Do you want to make a difference in someone’s life? Angelica has a volunteer program that will give you the opportunity to bring joy into the lives of long-term care patients and residents at Coler Hospital on Roosevelt Island.
The Angelica volunteer program meets at Coler Hospital every Wednesday night from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. While visiting with patients and residents in a group setting, we have many different activities, which vary depending on requests from the participants. Some weeks we play dominoes, sometimes we sing, sometimes we learn new skills like crocheting. It’s all about spending time with people and letting them know that we care.
No experience or skills are necessary. Volunteers for this program should be outgoing, motivated to help others, responsible and enjoy working with a team. What you will get in return is a great deal of appreciation -- we have found that our volunteers receive as much joy as they give.
If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please contact us. You are welcome to visit once or more before you decide whether this is the right volunteer program for you.

If you are interested in volunteering on any week night other than Wednesday night, we are looking for volunteers to staff the Atrium at Coler Hospital. The Atrium is normally closed in the evenings, but patients and residents would like to have the opportunity to relax in this lovely room after dinner. The volunteer job would involve greeting patients and facilitating activities like watching DVD’s and playing games.

Angelica sponsors a Spa & Beauty Day four times a year: twice at Coler Hospital and twice at Goldwater Hospital. The patients and residents look forward to these days when they have the luxury of being pampered. We serve fruit smoothies, herbal teas and biscotti in the waiting area. The spa treatments include hair cutting, makeup application, manicures and massages.
Our Spa & Beauty Day Committee plans and executes these events. If you are a hairdresser, makeup artist, manicurist and/or massage therapist, we encourage you to lend your skills to bring some happiness to patients and residents who would greatly appreciate a relaxing spa treatment. If you have access to samples of makeup, nail polish or other toiletries, we would appreciate any donation of product for gift bags.
