2Life Communities Premieres Cycling Without Age
Last October, on a beautiful Autumn afternoon in Brighton, a dozen or so 2Life Communities residents could be seen riding in pedicabs, enjoying the outdoors with the wind in their hair.
Become a 2Life volunteer, and make new friends while making a difference. Sharing your passions and talents enriches our residents’ lives, and you’ll get as much as you give.
Volunteers are a critical part of our community spending more than 20,000 hours each year talking to, teaching, and having fun with our residents. You don’t need any special skills, just a friendly attitude and an open mind.
We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities, though not all opportunities are appropriate for children. All first-time volunteers must attend one of our regularly scheduled volunteer orientations. For group volunteer activities, an orientation may be incorporated into the schedule.
We host one-time and recurring groups of five to thirty volunteers for done-in-a-day projects or activities for residents. Bring your group or team to lend a hand or engage with our residents. Examples of group service projects include painting apartments, building elevated planter beds, and helping with outdoor cleanup. Examples of volunteer-led activities for residents include trivia tournaments, craft or cooking projects, and game-playing.
We always need volunteers to help us run recurring and one-time special events, including:
Not sure if any of these are right for you? Or have a different idea you’d like to explore? We’d love to hear from you! Our Volunteer Program Manager can help you find a volunteer project that’s a perfect match for your skills, interests, and availability.

My audiences at book reviews and short story readings always give me their intelligent attention. They ask probing questions at the end, and debate one another's observations in a lively and satisfying way.... I come away not only feeling happy to have shared some of my knowledge and insights, but also to have received so much in return.
