Be a Phone Companion

If you are a talker and connecting one-to-one with an older adult for ongoing meaningful phone friendship appeals to you, let us pair you with someone through Phone Companions.

These days, the phone may not be ringing as often as our older adult friends would like. Phone friendships come with the beautiful anticipation of an expected call, engaging conversation, and the joy of getting to know someone.

Time commitment: To be determined by you and your new phone companion. Most Phone Companions chat on a weekly basis, for 20-60 minutes. 

Volunteers must be 18+, complete a background check, and read through all training materials. This is a virtual volunteer opportunity with training and staff support provided. For more information about helping older adults take active steps in improving their overall wellbeing, please contact Emma Lucchesi at elucchesi@friendsco.org  or 612-746-0746.
