Are you looking to serve older adults in your community? Would you like to do that over drinks? Once a month, our fantastic volunteer, Kim, puts on a Happy Hour at a different location in North Beach. We are looking for a volunteer to join Kim once a month to help facilitate conversation at this event. Around 10 people typically attend this event. The schedule: The second Tuesday of every month at 4 PM Upcoming Dates: June 14th, July 12th, August 9th, September 13th The hard truth is that people's communities dwindle as they age. This monthly happy hour creates a relaxed environment for people to meet each other and build connections. Loneliness has just been proven to be as deadly as smoking a pack a day (source: https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/connection/index.html?utm_source=osg_redirect&utm_medium=osg_redirect&utm_campaign=osg_sg_gov_connection), so we're doing everything we can to help people keep their community strong. If you're interested in joining a wonderful group for drinks, email liz@nextvillagesf.org or call 415-574-0156 to contact Elizabeth, the volunteer coordinator!

NEXT Village SF is supporting older adults in northeast San Francisco, and we need your help! If you want to support your senior neighbors, we'd love to have you on our team. Our members are always looking for technology support. Visits can take place over Zoom or in person. Many companies offer paid volunteer time, so you can actually volunteer during the day and still get paid! Here are some examples of the kind of tech help requests we get: unsubscribing from junk mail and organizing email inboxes troubleshooting issues with Zoom learning about how to use common apps on iPhone and Android phones setting up their computer or wifi setting up accessibility features (voice dictation, increasing font size, etc.) learning to use Google Workspace (calendar, drive, docs, etc.) updating computer software and more! Can you help? Email camille@nextvillagesf.org or call 415-574-0156 to learn more about becoming a volunteer for NEXT Village!
