TO BECOME AN OMA VOLUNTEER

OMA Volunteers

OMA volunteers must complete a 5 hours (1.5 Hours for 3 weeks) of volunteer training program conducted by a certified OMA Facilitator. The training will cover an overview of dementia, OMA philosophy and methodology, and effective communication and creative facilitation skills. Upon completion of this training, volunteers are expected to commit to a weekly session of 90 minutes for the duration of the program of 8 weeks. This is one of the most rewarding programs, where you truly get to make a difference in another persons life. Make a new friend and join us for the next session of workshops. Please, contact the Education Director, Erin Svendsen by filling out the form below.
