Volunteers and Interns

We are thankful for the many volunteers and interns who offer their time and talents to serve our residents. Many of Cypress Glen’s volunteers have been working with the community for years, forming meaningful relationships with residents through community event preparation and administrative assistance. Industrious interns have started their retirement community careers with valuable learning opportunities in our marketing, administrative, life enrichment, and health care departments.

Internship Opportunities

As a teaching community, Cypress Glen provides numerous opportunities to fulfill college service learning hours. We will work with you to find areas of service that you will find rewarding and will help you gain useful experience to jump-start your chosen retirement community career.

Explore Internship Opportunities

Please email internship application to Executive Director, Laurie H. Stallings (Lstallings@umrh.org) and Executive Assistant/Director of Communications, Anna Holloman (aholloman@umrh.org).

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers may find themselves calling bingo, walking with residents outside on our walking trail, singing karaoke, reading to residents, playing cards, assisting with crafts, or spending one-on-one time with a resident. Whatever the activity, these interactions offer fulfillment and enrichment for both volunteers and residents.

Next Steps

If you wish to volunteer, please download and fill out our volunteer application and send it to our Life Enrichment Volunteer Coordinator. A Life Enrichment Associate will contact you for volunteer orientation to begin service training. Every volunteer must attend a volunteer orientation/tour of the community. The orientation takes about 30-45 minutes and is usually scheduled twice each month. We do ask that all volunteers serve a minimum of 15 hours. Please note our available service hours are Monday-Friday, 8:45 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
