Do you geek out over molecular biology? Are you interested in having deep discussions about the state of the world with an older adult? You have come to the right place.
The friendly visiting program pairs volunteers with homebound older adults and they make regular visits to them to reduce social isolation.
This particular older adult enjoys giving life advice and, because he used to be a scientist and professor, he enjoys talking about science. No experience is necessary but a desire to make a friend is a must (Bengali speaking a plus!)
