Queens Community House’s Friendly Visiting Program seeks volunteers to provide thoughtful and engaging weekly phone calls to isolated older adults with range of interests, hobbies, religious and political beliefs. Visits can be either in person or via phone.
This client is 82 years old and lives in Ozone Park. She is bilingual and speaks Spanish and English. She is a retired school counselor and loves talking about her time working with students. She's interested in in-person visits any afternoon except for Tuesdays or Thursdays.
To become a friendly visitor, you will have to complete an application and some other paperwork, provide two personal/professional references, consent to a background check, interview and then complete a 90-minute training. The process can take two to four weeks. There is short weekly reporting about your visits or phone calls and phone check-ins with the staff every three months. We ask that you commit to at least six months once the right match is found for you.
