Be a Coffee Talker
Bring cheer and connection into the lives of older Minnesotans by becoming a Coffee Talker! In this volunteer role, you’ll offer friendly conversation to older adults who may be feeling isolated or lonely. Coffee Talk is a welcoming, drop-in call line where callers can connect with caring volunteers for meaningful chats.

Coffee Talk takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and we are currently looking for volunteers to help cover these three-hour morning shifts. This is a fully remote volunteer opportunity, allowing you to participate from the comfort of your home, with training and ongoing staff support provided.

Requirements:
Volunteers must be 18 or older, complete a volunteer application, pass a background check, attend training, and currently live in Minnesota. College and university students needing volunteer hours are encouraged to apply.

Time Commitment:
Volunteers sign up for a three-hour shift on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
