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:
- Llamadas telefónicas uno a uno: Dedicar una hora a la semana para conversar con un anciano.
- Visitas a domicilio: Visitar a los mayores en sus hogares para jugar ajedrez, juegos de cartas, dominó, conversar y escuchar música.
- Llamadas grupales: Facilitar llamadas grupales donde los mayores puedan participar juntos.
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!
El Programa de Visitas Amistosas es financiado por NYC Department for the Aging.
