Help us connect with each other in this isolating time! Seniors are needed to help kids learn the art of letter writing, practice penmanship and communicate with an adult outside their household. And kids are needed to write back! Both get snail mail and a new friend in the process! We match up kids with seniors (or kids with other kids, if preferred), make introductions and send writing prompts. We currently have pen pals in 42 states, and are aiming to get participation from all 50 states, plus DC and Puerto Rico. Learn more and sign up: https://www.phinneycenter.org/pen-pal/

Volunteers needed to help members one-on-one with their smart phones, tablets, laptops or eReaders. Questions are usually pretty basic: how to attach a photo to an email, how to set up an Instagram account, how to follow the Pope on Twitter, etc. Flexible schedule (you pick a mutually convenient time). Background check required & 6-month commitment requested. Great for high school students looking for an ongoing position. Mentors typically meet "clients" in-person at the Greenwood Senior Center, M-F between 9:30 am and 4:30 pm If you are interested in this opportunity for service hours, this is a great direct-service, intergenerational, opportunity. We’ve found volunteers are most successful when they are able to make a longer-termed commitment (6+ months) in order to accumulate the number of required hours. To give you an idea of how many hours you might get, we generally get 8 to 10 requests for help per month, and currently have a pool of about 15 volunteers.
