Cultivate a Social Connection with an Older Adult, Become a Friendly Visitor

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Front Porch Community Services

Are you looking for a way to support older adults in our communities?

Social Call volunteers are paired with an older adult for weekly friendly tele-visits. As a Social Call volunteer you'll provide social support and friendship, connecting with the same older adult once a week.

Social Call volunteers find that being a Friendly Visitor is a super rewarding experience 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
  • Form a friendship with the participant and commit to one call per week for at least 6 months.
  • Are background checked; Cost covered by Social Call

Volunteer training scheduled regularly. For more information, please contact Casey O'Neill at co'neill@covia.org or 415-535-7741.
