Volunteer with Social Call, a Friendly Visiting program for Older Adults

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Front Porch Community Services

Intergenerational in-person visit

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 Sonoma County. (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.
