    Description

    Become a Friendly Visitor for an Older Adult in Richmond Hill, Queens!!

    Queen Community House's Friendly Visiting Program matches homebound older adults with volunteers in their community. The program also aims to reduce isolation and loneliness amongst seniors in our neighborhoods and communities.

    We're currently in need of volunteers to provide social engagement to older adults in Richmond Hill (and surrounding neighborhoods).

    The Friendly Visiting program is an enriching opportunity for the volunteer to develop a meaningful friendship with an older adult.

    Friendly visitors must be 18 and over, be open to committing to 6 months of volunteerism, and a background check is required to participate in the program. Volunteers can either call an older adult or do in-person visits upon approval.

    Email us at volunteer@qchnyc.org to apply today!
