Be a Visiting Companion

Bring the joy of building a meaningful friendship into the life of an older adult facing loneliness and isolation by being their Visiting Companion! As Visiting Companions, you and your friend can enjoy each other’s company at home, out-and-about town, or wherever you choose based on the schedules and needs each of you brings to the relationship.

Required: All volunteers must be 18+, pass a background check, and complete all the necessary trainings to be a Visiting Companion Volunteer. 

Time commitment: Number and length of visits to be determined by you and your new friend, with phone calls, texts, emails, cards, or letters between visits. Most volunteers visit 1-2 times per month. 

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.
