Description
Join Me for Walks, Mall Adventures & Starbucks Sips and then we can share some piano music. You can give me something to look forward to on these long days when I cannot get out alone or engage with other people. Due to legal blindness, I cannot get out on my own and I am not near the bus line - if you have an hour or two every other week, I would appreciate getting to know you. If this post is too remote for you, there are other individuals who are legally blind are living around Connecticut and they would also love to have a volunteer buddy.
Requirements to be a great volunteer include:
- a desire to help others;
- a pleasant demeanor;
- a good reading/speaking voice;
- average reading skills;
- organizational or planning abilities;
- a good driving record;
- a clear criminal history;
- two references
- access to a car with proof of insurance;
a minimum of $50/100k liability and $5,000 of property damage coverage
