Location: Heritage House at the Market, Seattle, WA 98101 

Role Type: Volunteer – Flexible hours 

Tech Support & Writing Assistance Needed 

Are you a patient, empathetic writer looking to make a meaningful impact? A thoughtful elder resident at Heritage House is seeking a kind-hearted volunteer to help bring their book to life. 

This participant has a rich story to tell but experiences scattered thinking and would deeply appreciate someone who can gently guide the writing process. You’ll be helping them express their ideas, organize thoughts, and type their manuscript — all while offering companionship and encouragement. 

They have a laptop and are eager to begin but may need occasional technical support. If you’re comfortable with basic tech troubleshooting and enjoy collaborative storytelling, this is a beautiful opportunity to make a difference. 

 


 What You’ll Do: 

  • Listen actively and help shape their narrative 

  • Type and organize content into a book format 

  • Offer gentle structure and encouragement 

  • Assist with basic computer tasks as needed 

 


Ideal Volunteer: 

  • Patient, compassionate, and a good listener 

  • Skilled in writing or editing (ghostwriting experience a plus!) 

  • Comfortable with basic computer use 

  • Available for regular visits or virtual sessions 

 


Why Volunteer? 

  • Help preserve a life story that deserves to be told 

  • Build a meaningful connection 

  • Use your writing skills for a heartfelt cause
