- Be Active: Join them in their hobbies and interests, whether it's walking, attending workshops, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
What Makes You a Great Fit?
We're looking for someone who is:
- Empathetic & Open: You're patient, honest, and always ready to listen.
- Active & Involved: You enjoy participating in activities and encouraging others to engage in their interests.
