Do people say you make friends everywhere? Are you outgoing, talkative, love to meet people? Are you curious about other people's perspectives? Are you a stellar volunteer who goes above and beyond to help others?
You've come to the right place.
How it works: our expert matchmaker (program coordinator) will take your unique personality and skills into consideration and match you with an older adult and you will develop a friendship with this person in person at their home.
I know, I know this is EXACTLY what you've been looking for. But before you sign up, please read our program requirements below.
- All volunteers must:
- Live in the New York tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut) and be at least 18 years old.
- Commit at least six months to participating in our program to build a meaningful relationship with their matched older adult.
- Provide two references and consent to a background check (more information in the application).
Ok, now you can let us know you're interested.
Reach out to Jennie Thomas to learn more about how you can change a senior's life!
