    Romanian speaking volunteer needed! Become a Friendly Visiting Volunteer for an Older Adult today!

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

    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 a Romanian speaking volunteer to visit an older adult based in Astoria. Our client loves the classics - music, movies, and literature. He also has a PhD in Economics and worked for the Romanian government. He would love a volunteer to go for walks with (weather permitting),play gin rummy and talk about books and music.

    If you are interested, please email us at volunteer@qchnyc.org for more information! Help brighten an older adult's day!
