    Description

    Wednesday Coffee Talkers Needed! (Remote Opportunity)

    Help bring cheer and smiles to older Minnesotans with your friendly voice. Be a Wednesday Morning Coffee Talker!

    Coffee Talk is a drop-in chat line that connects socially isolated older adults with caring volunteers for friendly conversation.

    With a welcoming voice and a listening ear, you can provide friendly converstion to older Minnesotans who are feeling isolated or lonely and looking for more social connection.

    Callers only need to share their first name-no registration or appointment is required. Coffee Talk is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon CST. Will you be there to pick up when someone calls to chat? We’re currently looking for extra support on Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (2-4 hour shifts available)

    Volunteers must be 18+, complete a volunteer application, pass a background check and go through the volunteer training. This is a virtual, remote volunteer opportunity with training and staff support provided.

    • Currently, we ask that all volunteers live in Minnesota.
    • University students needing volunteer hours for class are welcome to apply.

    For more information about volunteering, please contact Emma at elucchesi@friendsco.org or 612-746-0746.
