Remote Friendship Line Volunteer San Mateo County - Be a Lifeline of Hope!

Make a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults and adults living with disabilities across California.

The Friendship Line is a vital program of the Institute on Aging. We are dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation among older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers. By building a culture of connection, we offer emotional support, foster social engagement, and provide a lifeline of hope to those who need it most.

As a Friendship Line Volunteer, you’ll offer compassionate phone support to:

• Older adults (60+) living
• Adults (18+) with physical or mental disabilities
• Caregivers of these individuals

In addition to receiving incoming calls, the Friendship Line also offers scheduled outgoing calls to California residents who prefer to be contacted at specific times. These confidential calls can provide meaningful support to older adults and individuals with disabilities who may be experiencing loneliness, depression, isolation, anxiety, or thoughts of death or suicide.
