How to Become a Volunteer


Because our residents are so important to us, we have instituted a number of policies for volunteers in order to ensure Friendship Village remains a safe and inviting place to live and thrive. Listed below are some things we require in order to be a part of the FVK volunteer team.

  • Interview with a Community Outreach staff member & complete the volunteer application.
  • Complete the necessary background check paperwork.
  • Provide proof of two-step TB testing.
  • Provide proof of annual flu shot.
  • Provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination.
  • Attend an orientation session through our Community Outreach office.
  • If appropriate, interview with department director and receive department-specific training.

TB tests and background checks are done on-site, and flu shots are available if needed. Friendship Village will take care of costs associated with these requirements as well as the cost of finger printing.
