The Carter Burden Network (CBN) is dedicated to supporting the efforts of older people to remain in their homes living independently, safely, and with dignity. Volunteers are an integral component of the Carter Burden Center's 52+ years of success. No matter your age, experience or schedule, CBCA can accommodate your needs to ensure that you have a meaningful and effective volunteer experience.
We're seeking compassionate, patient, and committed people to communicate with seniors on a regular basis. Volunteers make weekly calls to homebound seniors serving as a status check. Volunteers may make calls from anywhere.
The Telefriend Program is for seniors who may have limited social interaction and look forward to having someone to talk with. The calls can be brief or lengthy, and topics range from the weather to the seniors' personal interests.
This is an on-going volunteer opportunity, a six-month commitment is required.
>> We are currently looking for 1 Telefriend volunteer to call seniors on a regular basis (including one senior in the mornings only) <<

Description
The Carter Burden Network was established in 1971, by New York City Council Member Carter Burden. He represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and founded the Center to assist the neighborhood's large number of older residents who were poor, in declining health and isolated.
The Carter Burden Network has grown into an agency with 12 programs in 7 locations and more than 100 employees. Now we serve approximately 5,000 seniors every year across the borough of Manhattan. It is a network of centers, programs and services that work together with government, corporate, individual and community partners to lead the way in aging services in New York City.
CBN offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to meet your interests. No matter your age, experience or schedule, CBN can accommodate your needs to ensure that you have a meaningful and effective volunteer experience. Opportunities can range from a one-time service day to a long-term volunteer commitment. We welcome individual, community and corporate groups to volunteer with us!
