We all can benefit from a little more connection in life. Make someone's day with a friendly visit!
Social Call volunteers meet with older adults for weekly social visits. Volunteers provide companionship, a listening ear, and pleasant company. In-person matches are available in San Francisco, Alameda, Marin and Sonoma counties and by-phone nationwide. Matches are based on location, availability, and shared interests.
Social Call volunteers find that making a visit to an older adult in their community is quite rewarding and many develop long-term friendships with their older adult match.
Social Call volunteers:
- Receive training and ongoing support
- Are matched with an adult 60 years or older
- Visit with their match for an hour each week for 6 months or longer
Bilingual volunteers encouraged to apply. Volunteer training scheduled regularly.
For more information, please contact Casey O'Neill at co'neill@covia.org or 415-535-7741.
