Family Eldercare's Lifetime Connections Without Walls is a telephone program that provides isolated and lonely older adults an opportunity to connect with others in their community and across the country. Our program offers social and educational sessions, support groups, and friendly conversation - all over the phone - all from the comfort of home.
We're looking for someone to host BINGO in Spanish for our Spanish-speaking participants. In the past, we've offered Spanish BINGO once a week, on Thursdays at 3:00 pm (CT). This time and frequency is flexible if another works best for you.
We will train you on the telephone conference call system and how to facilitate the BINGO game. No worries, it's very simple. We will also provide ongoing support.
This volunteer opportunity is completely virtual and can be done anywhere. All you need is a telephone, computer, and internet connection.
Take a look at our website, where you can view our catalog of sessions, for more information: https://www.familyeldercare.org/programs/lifetime-connections-without-walls/.
Thank you for considering this opportunity and we hope you'll join us!
