As a volunteer, you can make a difference in the lives of these elders needing visitors. We will match you with an elder that you will form a friendship with. Volunteers are needed to spend an hour a week visiting a senior in Hyde Park. During the visit, volunteers may share conversations, go for walks, watch a favorite television show, do an errand together, or share other common interests.

Mission Statement
FriendshipWorks, formerly MATCH-UP Interfaith Volunteers, recruits and trains caring individuals to assist elders living in the Boston area. Our mission is to decrease the isolation that too often comes with age and disability, to promote well being, and to enhance the quality of life of elders. We have seen firsthand the difference ongoing companionship and support can make both for our care recipients and our volunteers.
