Join FriendshipWorks for an 8-week Intergenerational LGBTQ Storytelling Group!
FriendshipWorks is looking for LGBTQ volunteers between 18-60 years of age to participate in an intergenerational storytelling group with LGBTQ elders in Boston. Over the course of eight weeks in February and March, we will share stories from our lives, using writing, guided movement and theater-based exercises, and arts and crafts projects as the group feels comfortable to explore what these stories mean to us and how they connect us to others. We will focus on building collaborative relationships and intergenerational connections.
Where and when: Feb 9 - March 30, 1-2:30 PM, Union United Methodist Church, 485 Columbus Ave. in Boston

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.
Description
FriendshipWorks offers a variety of support services to elders in the Boston area. We make friendship matches between volunteers and elders. Volunteers often provide companionship, read aloud, take walks, or assist someone with errands. In addition to ongoing companionship, FriendshipWorks provides one-time assistance such as volunteer escorts to and from medical appointments and respite for family caregivers.
