Family Caregiver Support Program


Thanks to the Community Care Corps, the Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) is now welcoming volunteers. If you’ve been a caregiver before, you know the challenges family caregivers can face. By volunteering with this program, you can offer guidance, empathy, and hope to fellow caregivers in our community.

As a Family Caregiver Support Volunteer, you can choose the type of support you offer—whether it’s providing one-on-one assistance, leading a support group, or helping out at events. This volunteer position can be done remotely or in person, as little as one hour a month or more frequently if your schedule allows. By sharing your experience as a Family Caregiver Support volunteer, you’ll help others feel seen, heard, and a little less alone—and that connection can be meaningful for you, too. 

One-on-One Support

  • Support caregivers through in-person meet ups or friendly phone calls.
  • Offer a listening ear and emotional support to fellow caregivers.
  • Collaborate with caregivers to brainstorm strategies and practical solutions tailored to their unique caregiving situations.

Caregiver Group Facilitation

  • Lead or co-facilitate caregiver support groups, offering structure, encouragement, and shared wisdom.
  • Participate in training to become a certified Dementia Friend or a support group facilitator.

Events & Community Outreach

  • Assist the FCSP team in planning and executing special events for caregivers and their families.
  • Represent the FCSP program at community events or information sessions.

As a family caregiver volunteer, you will use your caregiving experience to support others with compassion, patience, and understanding.

  • Bilingual/bicultural (Spanish/Khmer) a plus
