Make a Difference in the Life of an Older Adult by Volunteering
We are seeking dedicated volunteers for our Neighbor to Neighbor Companion service. You can make a difference in the life of an older adult, share skills, meet new people and have fun in the community.
Neighbor to Neighbor Companions is a bridge to fuller, more active lives for older adults who need a little extra support to continue living at home, stay healthy and remain as independent as possible.
COVID-19 Update
Due to the current pandemic, Neighbor to Neighbor Companion services are currently being offered via phone and video chat with limited outdoor in-person visits.
How It Works
By visiting an older adult a few hours each week, you will offer assistance with daily activities and appointments, make trips to the community and be an ongoing resource and friend. We carefully match each older adult with a local volunteer, and visits are scheduled for weekdays during regular business hours.
Volunteer Companions Receive:
- A monthly stipend of $50/client
- Mileage reimbursement
- Ongoing training opportunities
- Accident and liability coverage while volunteering
- Recognition
To Qualify You Must:
- Have compassion, patience and respect for others
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Have dependable transportation, a good driving record and be willing to travel to your area
- Pass a background and driving record check
- Work well with diverse individuals, families, groups and organizations
