Seniors' Programs

Seniors' Peer Support

Volunteers are needed for our Seniors Peer Support Program for homebound seniors living in South East Vancouver. We need caring, compassionate volunteers. Here's how you can help:

1. Friendly Visitor/Walking Companion - visit an isolated senior in their home or take them for a walk to provide companionship and a meaningful social opportunity. (Criminal record check required.)

2. Hello Neighour/Safety Line Caller - a brief, daily phone call from you provides a sense of safety and friendship. Three to ten minutes per day from the comfort of your own home is your only commitment.

Volunteer training will be provided to enhance personal development, interpersonal skills and knowledge in aging related local resources. A better and healthier neighbourhood is to be built by many "Good Samaritans". Many isolated seniors are invisible and need to be re-connected with local communities. You can make a difference!
