Virtual Opportunity
VIRTUAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY FOR HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE STUDENTS Conversations To Remember is looking for high school & college students who want to volunteer with our charity. Once a week 2 or 3 students engage in a video call with a senior citizen who is in an assisted living facility. Most of the residents that we are working with have some form of cognitive decline. Students will attend a virtual training, and then participate in mock virtual visits before doing it themselves. The calls last about an hour, and we have 2 or 3 students doing it together. During the virtual visit, students don't have to be physically together, they can each be on their own device. Since COVID-19 these residents have been unable to leave the facilities or have many (if any) visitors. They are lonely, and enjoy speaking with students. For more information, and to submit an interest form, go to www.ConversationsToRemember.org. **The best way to respond to this is to complete the volunteer interest form at https://conversationstoremember.org/volunteer/ Conversations to Remember is a NJ Nonprofit Corporation

Virtual Opportunity
Conversations to Remember is a 501C3 nonprofit that connects students with senior citizens who are in long term care communities for virtual visits. This charity was founded in the wake of Covid-19 when the long term care communities shut their doors to all visitors, and the epidemic of loneliness began to grow among the residents. Our services are completely free, all volunteer based. We are looking for someone with Public Relations experience to help publicize our organization. We are looking for someone who can assist with getting our name and mission in the press, on tv, etc. While the company is managed by adults, it was founded by a 16 year old high school student, who saw a need and wanted to help. He (the 16 year old) is the face of the company, and we would like to find ways to get him in the spotlight to help promote our mission. To learn more about Conversations to Remember, go to https://conversationstoremember.org/ . This is a volunteer position, open only to someone with PR experience. Do not contact us directly, all inquiries should be done through VolunteerMatch.

Virtual Opportunity
Conversations to Remember is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization the arranges for residents in senior living communities to have virtual video visits with college and high school students. We are looking for adult volunteers who will reach out to senior living communities (Assisted living communities, long- term care facilities, nursing homes, etc.) to introduce them to Conversations to Remember, and find out if our volunteers can help their residents. We will assist the volunteer by providing a list of senior living communities (although, they are welcome to generate their own), and detailed information about our program and the program requirements. We'll rely on the volunteer to reach out to the communities, maintain tracking details, and follow up with the communities as they move towards joining the program.

Virtual Opportunity
Conversations to Remember is a 501C3 charity that matches students with residents in senior communities (including those with dementia) for weekly virtual visits. Our mission is to help relieve the loneliness that these senior citizens experience and bring a smile to each resident's face. We currently have hundreds of trained student volunteers from over 40 states, and are working with senior communities from coast to coast. Our program began during Covid, when the residents in long term care communities were not allowed visitors, and most were isolated in their rooms. The epidemic of loneliness among senior citizens was elevated during this isolation, but has always existed even before the Covid lockdowns. We strive to relieve some of this loneliness and feelings of isolation. We want the senior citizens we serve to recognize that they are valuable members of our community! We need adult volunteers to help in various ways: social media public relations writing blog posts assistance contacting communities to have them join our program creating fundraising campaigns helping to identify funding sources grant writing All volunteering is done virtually. We are looking for adults in the United States, who want to volunteer their time to assist with our mission to help senior citizens. This opportunity is good for people who are retired, stay at home parents, or anyone with even a few free hours a week. If you have related experience, that is great, but may not be necessary.
