Do you speak another language? Become a Friendly Visiting Volunteer in Queens today!

Queen Community House's Friendly Visiting Program matches homebound older adults aged 60 and above with volunteers in their community, creating intergenerational relationships in Western, Central, and Southeast Queens. The program also aims to reduce isolation and loneliness amongst seniors in our neighborhoods and communities.

Friendly Visiting volunteers must be 18 and over, provide 2 non-related references, be open to committing to 6 months of volunteerism, and consent to a background check. Volunteers can either call or do in-person visits the older adult upon approval.

We are currently in need of bilingual volunteers who speak: Spanish, Bengali, Creole, Cantonese, Tagalog, French, Greek, Italian, Hebrew, Romanian, and Italian.

Our clients reside in various areas of Queens, including: Long Island City, Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood, Glendale, Rego Park, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Woodhaven, Richmond Hill, Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Jamaica, Hollis, St. Albans, The Rockaways and Broad Channel.
