    Description

    Khmer-Speaking Friendly Companion for Elders at Episcopal Homes

    Do you speak Cambodian Khmer and enjoy spending time with older adults? Episcopal Homes is seeking compassionate volunteers to serve as one-to-one companions for our residents whose first language is Khmer. 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 Cambodian 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 light rail and include a free parking lot and off-street parking for a vehicle.
