Volunteer: Virtual Visit Volunteer

Our virtual visit program matches 2-3 young adult college students with senior citizens for virtual video visits. These seniors have been suffering from isolation, and you could really brighten their days just by speaking with them. We provide training about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout your service. Since these visits are virtual, you can do it without any travel. This is both convenient, and allows more of your time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to the volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have volunteer from around the country as well.

Typically, students volunteer one hour per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior's attention span and mood on each day. We expect students to volunteer for at least 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as we have new seniors starting all the time, and train new volunteers weekly. The students are matched based on the times that they're available, with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing for more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting us with our social media, call support, or outreach.
