ON HOLD! GrandPals read to children in kindergarten in the Princeton schools. Each GrandPal is paired with one or two children for the entire school year. We read once a week for 30 minutes in the school library or classrooms during the school day. A strong inter-generational bond is built between the children and the GrandPal. Please Note: We are not currently taking applications. We will re-post once we know when the children will be back in the school buildings and our volunteers are approved to be in person.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer with the Home Friends Program. Home Friends volunteers are matched with an older adult living in Princeton or surrounding area. Home Friends provide weekly visits which typically include conversation, walks, assistance with routine tasks, or sharing a mutual hobby. The minimum time commitment is one hour a week. Visitation may be longer and more frequent as agreed upon by the volunteer and recipient. Many of our Home Friend recipients prefer visitors during the week rather than on weekends. Many meaningful and lasting friendships have developed between HomeFriends over the years. Do you speak a language other than English? Let us know! Do you have a hobby or skill to share with an older adult? Let us know! Please complete a full application from our website: https://www.princetonsenior.org/volunteer/homefriends/?highlight=homefriends Home Friends is a one-on-one volunteer program that takes place in the older adults home or in the community as agreed upon by both participants.

Are you passionate about tech gadgets, phones and computers? Patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate volunteers are needed to help seniors in our on-site Computer/Tech Lab! Volunteers assist older adults 1 on 1 with various devices, including desktops (in our lab), laptops, tablets and phones, on all operating systems. Sample questions from older adults may include "How do I use email and how can I Skype/FaceTime with my grandchildren?", "How do I organize my photos?", "How do I use my new gadget?" and "How do I find or organize my files?" We are expanding our in-person hours in the near future. We are in immediate need of a volunteer for every Wednesday from 2-4 pm. We are also in need of volunteers willing to substitute when someone is on vacation.
