Become a Friendly Visitor for a Senior-La Habra-Bilingual, English and Arabic

Save to Favorites

SeniorServ provides programs for seniors who do not have strong communities but who very much need social connection. Our Friendly Visitor program matches a volunteer with a senior based on location and personality. As a volunteer, you can stop by your senior's house to share a cup of coffee, play cards, or just chat.We request that our volunteers visit for about an hour, once a week. It's rewarding to build a relationship with someone whose had a lifetime of experience. You really start to learn more about yourself and life as a Friendly Visitor.

We have a lovely senior who is in need of companionship. She's very sweet and loves to talk with people. She prefers someone who can speak Arabic. She is a Christian and enjoys talking about her faith.

Call, email, or contact us through VolunteerMatch to schedule an interview at our Anaheim Headquarters location. We interview all potential volunteers to get to know more about you and how you want to serve seniors in Orange County. Bring your application to your interview. *Please know there is a $20 background check fee for all new volunteers.

Background Check: Once your background check results are in, we will schedule Orientation.

Orientation: At Orientation, you will learn about SeniorServ's impact on the community and how to be an effective Friendly Visitor. This is a great opportunity to learn about other Friendly Visitors' stories and to ask us any questions about the program. Orientation lasts about an hour.

Matching Process: After Orientation our coordinator will schedule a time to introduce you to our participant and the visits begin from there!
