The Legacy Senior Communities’ volunteer program was created to fill residents’ days with meaning and joy while strengthening the greater DFW community. We welcome volunteers of all ages at our Plano and Dallas campuses—offering engaging roles in activities like visits, music, games, arts, knitting, outings, and memory-support programming, as well as creative new ideas. In addition, our Legacy at Home division supports hospice clients wherever they call home—meaningful volunteer roles that include companionship, emotional support, and assistance to patients and families during end‑of‑life care. Comprehensive training, background checks, and ongoing support ensure volunteers feel confident and valued in every service we provide. The gift of your time can truly make a lasting difference in someone’s day or life.
At The Legacy Senior Communities, volunteers of all ages are invited to share their time, talents, and compassion through engaging activities and connection. Whether you’re leading a game, playing music, or simply offering conversation, your presence can bring real joy. Download Volunteer Instructions

Since 2010, The Legacy Knit & Crochet Club has been crafting handmade items using donated yarn. These items are then distributed to local not-for-profit organizations dedicated to assisting families in need. We kindly request your assistance in our endeavor by contributing medium worsted (#4) yarn in a range of vibrant colors.
To volunteer at The Legacy Senior Communities, each individual or group leader must complete the volunteer application. Volunteers will receive an email with information on the volunteer onboarding process, which includes a background check and orientation. Once approved, you will be notified of the volunteer positions that are available.
Assist our Lifestyles team with jewelry-making, leading art classes, piano-playing, story-telling, book club, playing cards, or accompanying seniors on outings.

We offer our specialized Dementia Aware training to all volunteers to handle the specific needs of Memory Support residents.
