Help bring cheer and smiles to older Minnesotans with your friendly voice. Be a Weekday Morning Coffee Talker!
Coffee Talk is a drop-in chat line that connects socially isolated older adults with caring volunteers for friendly conversation.
With a welcoming voice and a listening ear, you can provide friendly converstion to older Minnesotans who are feeling isolated or lonely and looking for more social connection.
Callers can remain anonymous, and there is no need to register or make an appointment for them to call. Volunteers answer calls Monday through Friday from 8 am to noon. Will you be there to answer when someone calls to chat? Currently, we are looking for additional support (2 to 4 hour shifts) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Volunteers must be 18+, complete a volunteer application, and pass a background check. This is a virtual volunteer opportunity with training and staff support provided.
*Currently, we ask that all volunteers live in the Midwest in the CST time zone.
*University students needing volunteer hours for class are welcome to apply too.
