Volunteer Action for Aging is seeking a volunteer to help put a smile on the face of a local area senior. As a Friendly Visitor Volunteer, you will visit a local senior to chat and provide companionship.
This senior prefers a female volunteer. She enjoys chatting and is very appreciative of people's time.
As a volunteer, you will make a real difference just by sharing a little time and visiting with a senior.
As of March 16th, all in-person visits are suspended due to ongoing COVID-19 issues. We are still recruiting volunteers to visit our seniors when this is all over but at this time, all of our volunteers will provide socialization over the phone.

Volunteer Action for Aging brings activities to seniors to keep them socially engaged. If you enjoy spending time and chatting with seniors, please join us.
We also have weekly volunteer events throughout Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. To learn more contact
