Friendly Visiting Programs throughout the city are in need of volunteers who speak languages other than English. Spanish, Russian, Italian, Hebrew, French Creole, Cantonese, Polish, Greek, Patois, Korean and Mandarin are currently needed. Other language speakers are encouraged to respond, as new clients enter the program every day.
Friendly Visiting is a volunteer-based program that provides friendship and social engagement for older adults through one-on-one relationships. We have opportunities in all 5 boroughs, based on where you live/work. Some older adults want an in-person visit and others prefer telephone or video visits. This is flexible, based on your preference as well.
We are seeking volunteers 18+ who want to make a difference in the life of an older adult. We ask for a commitment of 6 months or longer, for one hour per week.
Please respond to this opportunity and we will contact you within 5 business days.
Thank you!
