Volunteering
We are always looking to bring additional volunteers into our program. All it takes to volunteer with us is a caring spirit and a willingness to learn the “ins and outs” of being a long-term care ombudsman.
We invite you to download, print, fill out and mail in the volunteer application linked here. All prospective volunteers are subject to a background check, and a program representative will call you upon receipt of your application to speak with you about your expectations. If you would like to ask questions or learn more about your local council before turning in an application, please call us toll-free at 1-888-831-0404, or click on Frequently Asked Questions, or send us an e-mail at LTCOPInformer@elderaffairs.org and we will gladly contact you.
Thank you for your interest in becoming a long-term care ombudsman! You can help us make a difference in the lives of Florida's elders.
Day in the Life of an Ombudsman
By becoming a volunteer ombudsman in Florida, you can change the life of people who live in nursing homes, assisted living facilities or adult family care homes. Many of these people have no one to speak up for them or look out for his or her best interest, making this population the most vulnerable in our society. Change a resident's life.
Become a volunteer today.
