Seeking a dynamic, friendly volunteer for the Friendly Visiting Program to visit an Indian woman who speaks Gujarati, Marathi, and Hindi. The volunteer commitment is to visit this individual once per week on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. Interested in sports and music? That's a bonus! She would like someone to walk outside with her and to a museum just to sit and chat.
The Friendly Visiting Program pairs volunteers with homebound older adults. The volunteers visit the older adults in their homes and they alleviate social isolation.
Volunteers are required to:
*Volunteer for 6 months
*Pass a background check
*Provide 2 references
*Be at least 18 years of age
No experience necessary and training will be provided. The Friendly Visiting Program is funded by NYC Aging.

Description
The Carter Burden Network was established in 1971, by New York City Council Member Carter Burden. He represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and founded the Center to assist the neighborhood's large number of older residents who were poor, in declining health and isolated.

It is a network of centers, programs and services that work together with government, corporate, individual and community partners to lead the way in aging services in New York City.
