Older adults are at increased risk of social isolation. Social Call supports opportunities for social engagement by matching volunteers and adults 60+ for weekly one-on-one visits by phone or video conference. Visits usually last 30-45 minutes. Our thoughtful matching process pairs older adults (60+) and volunteers who are looking for meaningful, creative conversations.
Currently we are looking for a volunteer to connect with an older adult in the Bay Area. (Phone or video-based/virtual.)
Social Call friendships are based on the idea that the volunteer and participant both have much to give to one another ensuring a reciprocal bond. We ask that volunteers commit to their match for at least six months though longer commitments are encouraged and welcomed.
For more information contact Casey O'Neill at 415-535-7741 or coneill@frontporch.net.
Social Call is a Front Porch Community Services program​. There is no cost to volunteer or participate.
