Give a Few Hours.
Make a Real Difference.

 

Volunteers are the heart of PB Village. You don’t need special experience — just a willingness to help a neighbor and be part of a caring community.

Whether you have a few hours a month or more time to give, volunteering is a meaningful way to build friendships, stay connected, and make a real impact in the lives of aging adults in Pacific Beach.

Many volunteers say they receive just as much as they give — a sense of purpose, connection, and community.

All volunteers are carefully screened and matched based on their interests, availability, and comfort level. You will never be asked to do more than you feel comfortable with.

Volunteer Opportunities
There are many ways to get involved with PB Village, some of these areas include:

Help a Neighbor at Home

  • Friendly phone check-ins
  • Social visits and companionship
  • Occasional meal delivery
  • Light household help or minor repairs
  • Temporary pet care assistance
  • Help with small home projects

Share Your Skills & Expertise

  • Teach a class such as yoga, art, cooking, or technology

Become a Volunteer Driver
Help members stay independent and connected by providing transportation to:

Join a Community That Cares
PB Village is built on neighbors helping neighbors. Whether you volunteer once a month or every week, your time and kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

If you’re interested in volunteering, find a committee or team that sparks your interest, please fill out our volunteer form or contact us at [email protected].

Volunteer Screening & Background Checks

Due to the nature of the work done by volunteers, as well as the requirements of our insurance policy, background and driving checks will be conducted. The background checks will include a criminal background check with federal, state, and local justice agencies, as well as with the Department of Motor Vehicles.  Background checks are conducted securely through Checkr. Results remain confidential, and PB Village only receives a pass/fail notification.

After we receive your application form, you will receive an email response from us and from [email protected].
