Herralink is a volunteer organization that bridges the gap between generations, connecting high school students with residents in retirement homes. High schoolers have a unique opportunity to enrich the lives of seniors, gain insights and wisdom and earn service hours, all through the act of building authentic relationships. Below are two volunteer opportunities that are fast approaching! Click on a link to sign up as a volunteer!
