Senior Center Event Volunteer Application

Senior centers rely on dedicated volunteers to create engaging, safe experiences for their communities. Whether you're organizing social events, activities programs, or meal services, having the right volunteers makes all the difference—and that starts with a thorough, welcoming application process.

This Senior Center Event Volunteer Application template helps you gather the information you need to match volunteers with the right roles, assess relevant experience, and meet safety requirements—all in one friendly, professional form. Built with Paperform, it's easy to customize for your center's unique programs and instantly share via email, social media, or your website.

What's included

This template captures essential volunteer details including personal contact information, availability, prior elder care or senior center experience, and specific skills like bingo calling, meal service, wheelchair assistance, and activity leadership. It also includes sections for emergency contacts, references, and background check authorization—helping you build a complete volunteer profile from day one.

Conditional logic ensures volunteers only see questions relevant to their interests and experience level, creating a streamlined experience that respects their time while giving your team the insight needed to place volunteers confidently.

Perfect for senior centers, community programs, and elder care organizations

Whether you run a nonprofit senior center, an assisted living activities program, or a community meals-on-wheels service, this template is designed for organizations that depend on volunteers to deliver compassionate, quality programming for older adults.

Use it to recruit volunteers for regular events like bingo nights, craft sessions, holiday parties, exercise classes, or one-on-one companion visits. The form works equally well for ongoing volunteer roles and special event support.

Go further with Paperform automation

Once a volunteer submits their application, Paperform can trigger automatic confirmation emails, send their details to your volunteer coordinator via Slack or email, or log responses in Google Sheets or Airtable for easy tracking. Need to route applications for review or follow up with reference checks? Connect this form to Stepper to automate multi-step approval workflows, schedule orientation invitations, or assign volunteers to upcoming events—no manual data entry required.

If your center requires background checks, Papersign makes it easy to send consent forms and waivers for eSignature immediately after submission, keeping your compliance documentation organized and legally sound.
