Friendly Visitors

FriendshipWorks

Description

An opportunity to make a new friend and help reduce social isolation and loneliness for an older adult in your neighborhood! FriendshipWorks will match you with one older adult buddy, and you commit to visiting that person once a week for an hour, continuing visits for one year. Matches schedule their visits whenever works for them, and do whatever activities you'd like together. This often includes taking a walk, drinking tea/coffee, playing cards, and sharing stories. No experience or car is required.

 

To get started, please take 10 minutes to fill out a volunteer application online. A program coordinator will reach out to you with next steps.
