You can help older adults remain independent and in their homes! We are looking for volunteers to assist older adults in Boston, Brookline, and Newton with errands and other helping tasks around the house. In turn, you are rewarded with connections to new people in your community. Scheduling is flexible, including evenings and weekends.

To volunteer: please complete a short volunteer application online. https://fw4elders.org/get-involved/volunteer-application.html

Volunteers must be 18+ or 15+ with parental permission. Multilingual speakers are welcomed and encouraged! When signing up, please plan to commit to completing several helps over 6 to 9 months.

FriendshipWorks was founded in 1984 to help reduce social isolation, enhance the quality of life, and preserve the dignity of older adults in Greater Boston. This work is accomplished by recruiting volunteers of all ages, faiths, and backgrounds who provide friendship, advocacy, education, assistance, and emotional support. Volunteers are critical to helping address the serious health risks posed by social isolation in the elder community.
