VOLUNTEER TO ENRICH A SENIOR'S LIFE — AND YOURS!

Join our wonderful team of supportive volunteers as a Phone Buddy, Mentor, or Board Member.

Phone Buddy:

You'll be matched with 2 seniors, each of whom you'll call every week at a scheduled day/time
Each phone conversation is about 30 minutes.
Typically these conversations are during weekdays between 9am-5pm.

This volunteer work can be challenging at times. Our senior clients are isolated due to many factors. These may include struggles with physical and/or mental health; lack of technology; lower income; cognitive and memory challenges; isolation from friends or family; normal aging. Yet this work is also deeply rewarding. You will be creating a vital human connection with your buddies, helping them know every week that they have not been forgotten.

Mentor:

Required experience with older adults in a work or volunteer setting. Required experience in leadership, coaching, or volunteer management.
1-2 hours per week. Fully remote.
You'll coach, guide, appreciate, and support a group of phone buddies (volunteer callers). You will help them solve issues with their older adult clients, coach them in effective communication strategies, and keep them connected to our organization.
You'll be trained via Zoom and supported by our program leadership.
You'll need access to a computer and familiarity with Google Sheets.
