Bellingham At Home (BAH), a non-profit membership organization, is a virtual Village in Bellingham WA empowering older adults to stay active and engaged while living in their own homes and neighborhoods.  It is a program of the Whatcom Council on Aging.

The Village is powered by volunteers who provide “good neighbor” assistance to older folks in our community. Volunteers provide transportation to medical appointments and other services in Bellingham, take members shopping, provide companionship, complete light home repairs and garden maintenance, and other tasks as needed.  (BAH does NOT provide medical assistance, personal care, nor ongoing cleaning and maintenance tasks.)

If you are searching for opportunities to use your skills to support the Bellingham community and enjoy talking with interesting people who have many life experiences to share, you’d make a great BAH volunteer. Most assistance requests are for 2-hour time slots and you can let us know when you are available.  There is no weekly commitment; flexibility to meet your own schedule. BAH members reward our volunteers with their most grateful appreciation!

There are also opportunities to bring exhibits, speakers, etc. to the community for a broader view of our history.

The program coordinator will build the partnerships to make these activities possible. Much of this activity can be done on your own schedule without having to physically be at the museum.

At U-District Mentoring, we believe that everyone has something to offer as a mentor. It doesn't take much to greatly impact a child's life. By showing up consistently, for four hours each month, you can help decrease depression symptoms, increase self-confidence, and encourage higher educational goals for your mentee. Forming these relationships and expanding a child's horizons can be one of the most rewarding experiences.

This has been an unusually hard summer for Spokane. Kids do especially well when they have one steady, caring adult to count on — and that's exactly what this program offers.

Unlike other mentoring programs, we don't have a waitlist of children. Instead, we intentionally match mentors with students in 3rd through 5th grade based on interests and experiences. Hoping to be matched with a kid who likes to paint or play sports? With the help of school counselors, we work to find that perfect match.

The commitment level is easy, even for the busiest of people. You create the schedule and get to plan each outing!
