Descripción del Programa de Visitas Amistosas:
Nuestro programa busca voluntarios interesados en dedicar una hora a la semana para conversar por teléfono con un anciano confinado en su hogar. Muchos de nuestros mayores están aislados de las interacciones comunitarias y buscan compañeros con quienes compartir risas, conversaciones y momentos agradables.
Los voluntarios pueden interactuar con los mayores de tres maneras:
Este programa fomenta amistades mutuamente gratificantes, permitiéndote conocer a los ancianos de tu vecindario, sus intereses, estilos artísticos y los cambios en la comunidad a lo largo de los años.
Servimos a un grupo diverso de personas mayores y buscamos voluntarios de todos los orígenes y edades (mayores de 18 años) para ayudar a nuestros mayores a sentirse más conectados con sus comunidades.
¡Únete a nosotros para marcar la diferencia!
