Want to build a meaningful connection that lasts? LBFE’s Visiting Volunteer Program is one of our most powerful and rewarding volunteer opportunities designed to match you 1:1 with an older adult experiencing isolation.

As a Visiting Volunteer, you'll have the chance to form a genuine, ongoing friendship through regular in-person visits, offering companionship, connection, and joy to someone who truly needs it. It’s not just volunteering-it’s building a relationship that matters.

Here's what's required to get started:

  • Attend a one-time volunteer orientation
  • Complete a background check
  • Join a short virtual training (1 hour) specifically for this program

If you’re ready to make a lasting impact and share meaningful moments, we’d love to have you join us!

Contact: Debbie Uchida at duchida@littlebrotherssf.org

Help us bring friendship to life... one visit at a time!

Mission Statement

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly is a national network of non-profit organizations committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among older adults. We offer to people of goodwill the opportunity to join older adults in friendship and the celebration of life.

Description

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) is committed to enriching the lives of lonely and isolated older adults in San Francisco. Virtually all of our services are carried out by individual volunteers; community, civic, and religious groups; and the business community. LBFE offers flexible and diverse volunteer opportunities, and volunteers can choose to make weekly, monthly, or seasonal time commitments.

LBFE has been supporting an incredible project called 80 over 80.
80 over 80 is a series of interviews that celebrates 80 people, living in San Francisco, who have passed the remarkable milestone of reaching 80. It includes the incredible stories and experiences of some of our wonderful LBFE Older Adults. Check our their stories here: https://80over80sf.org/80over80-stories
