    Description

    Vietnamese-Speaking Friendly Companion for Elders at Episcopal Homes

    Are you fluent in Vietnamese and enjoy connecting with older adults? Episcopal Homes is offering a meaningful volunteer opportunity to serve as a one-to-one companion for residents whose first language is Vietnamese. Share stories, read aloud, write letters, play games, and reminisce about life, family, careers, and hobbies-all while making a real difference in someone's day. Flexible scheduling available: visit once a week or twice a month, based on what works best for you. Join us in building joyful connections - apply today!

    Our two Independent Living facilities that include Vietnamese elders include Carty Heights at 412 Dunlap Street North and Kings Crossings at 500 Dale Street North, both are off of University Avenue and are accessible from public transportation with buses and lightrail and include a free parking lot and off street parking for a vehicle.
