ORGANIZATION: Oxnard RSVP

Friendly Visitor
A volunteer reads a card to an elderly friend during a weekly visit.

Are you a social person who values connecting with others? We are looking for volunteers who are open to spending quality time and having a conversation with someone who may be frail or homebound. Social isolation is devastating for older individuals, this program is aimed at combating the impact of loneliness.

Volunteers may assist with social activities, transportation, home management, or provide companionship. This is not a medical or caregiver position.

Volunteers are matched with seniors based upon interests, needs, background and personality. They are asked to set aside 2 to 4 hours per week to visit with their senior friend.

Background check will be performed. All volunteers must be 55 years or older.

Email rsvp@oxnard.org or give us a call at 805-385-8019 for more information!
