H.O.P.E. | Chartwell's Community Giving Program for Seniors

Did you know there are emotional, social, and even physical benefits to volunteering? Not only does volunteering give us a sense of purpose and satisfaction about giving back, for older adults it can alsocontribute to positive mental health, increase socialization, and promote independence!

You’ll find in Chartwell retirement communities, many of our residents want an opportunity to make a positive difference in their local communities, as well as the global community at large. We created our signature vocational experience,H.O.P.E. (Helping Others for Purposeful Engagement), to do just that: provide a program framework that creates occasions for you to connect with your community and make an impact that brings you meaning and purpose.

Whether you want to participate in a fundraising effort, join us in a visit to a local women’s shelter or animal rescue organization, or begin your own creative project to give back, our Lifestyle & Program Managers are here to support your exploration, help you set goals and foster meaningful experiences that bring everyone together in a shared purpose.
