Be a Phone Companion
Share the gift of conversation and connection by becoming a Phone Companion! In this volunteer role, you’ll be paired one-to-one with an older adult for ongoing, meaningful phone friendship. If you enjoy talking and building relationships, this is a wonderful way to make a difference. For many older adults, the phone doesn’t ring as often as they’d like—your regular call can bring something to look forward to, spark engaging conversation, and create a lasting sense of connection and joy.
This is a flexible, fully remote volunteer opportunity that allows you to build a friendship at a pace that works for both you and your companion. Training and staff support are provided to help you feel confident and comfortable in your role.
Requirements:
Volunteers must be 18 or older, complete a background check, and review all required training materials.
Time Commitment:
Call frequency and length are flexible and determined by you and your phone companion. Most Phone Companions connect on a weekly basis for about 20–60 minutes.
