The commitment is generally once a week for a period of at least 9-12 months (day and time flexible). Friendly visiting matches go for walk, run errands, share a cup of tea or coffee, or share stories. Over time, both people grow and learn from each other, often becoming great friends.

FriendshipWorks was founded 37 years ago to help reduce social isolation, enhance the quality of life, and preserve the dignity of older adults in Greater Boston. This work is accomplished by recruiting volunteers of all ages, faiths, and backgrounds who provide friendship, advocacy, education, assistance, and emotional support. Volunteers are critical to helping address the serious health risks posed by social isolation in the elder community, including accelerating brain and cardiovascular aging.
