Can you visit with an isolated, lonely older adult once a week? This volunteer opportunity has been adapted due to the Covid 19 pandemic, from visiting together inside your newly matched friend's home, to a virtual (phone or video chat ) or at a physical distance outside your newly matched friend's home. Enjoy human social connection but still keep safe! LITA is partnering with Vivalon (Whistlestop) to reach out to lonely older adults who are homebound and see no one all week long. During this 6 month pilot, volunteers will make one social visit a week for about 45 minutes to one resident. LITA will match you with the resident and provide training and ongoing support so that you feel comfortable to visit and connect with your new friend. Let us know if you are interested in helping LITA and Vivalon (Whistlestop) reduce isolation and loneliness in our community! Requirements: Two non-family references Background check (We will convert this opportunity back to it's original in-person, indoors format after the pandemic) Must be over 20 Orientation
