Silver Tongued angels are needed for outbound calling center focused on socialization and outreach to individuals who are elder blind. You will call an established list of consumers who will be expecting to hear from you. You will have an established list of questions and then can have general conversations for socialization. The right caller will also assist with screening potential volunteers by calling references, and following up with existing volunteers to offer support.
If you can spend a few hours per week or month to assist in reaching out and providing some social interaction for this great group of people, this posting is for YOU!
