Looking to make meaningful connections? Have a desire to help vulnerable populations? Become a Friendly VOYCE volunteer! You will be a companion and connection to the outside world for a resident struggling with feelings of loneliness living in a long-term care community.
As a Friendly VOYCE volunteer, you will make an impact by:
(1) Visiting with 2 matched residents on a weekly basis at your schedule’s convenience
(2) Engaging in meaningful activities to help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation (Don’t worry, the VOYCE Volunteer Coordinator can help develop activities to engage with residents!)
Friendly VOYCE volunteers have an amazing opportunity to meet someone new and cultivate a meaningful relationship that often transcends generations. This opportunity will be supported by VOYCE staff who will provide training and guidance throughout their journey.
COVID-19: All VOYCE volunteers must be vaccinated and willing to comply with safety measures in place. All volunteers are given PPE to wear at their long-term care community. If any volunteers have questions or concerns, our staff is available to discuss these safety measures further.More opportunities with VOYCE

VOYCE also delivers options to those making long-term care decisions. As the demand for long-term care continues to grow, an estimated 70% of those 65 and older will need long-term care and 43% will spend some time in a long-term care community.
