Jamaica Queens Older Adults Will Cherish Your Conversations! Become a Friendly Visiting Volunteer!

Queens Community House is recruiting volunteers for our Friendly Visiting program, a program that matches home bound older adults with volunteers for weekly visits or phone calls to help reduce isolation and loneliness among older adults in our community. Together, the older adult and volunteer can discuss shared interests, learn/teach new skills, play board games, read books, learn technology, and other fun activities.

We have several clients based in Jamaica (and surrounding areas) who have interesting stories to share at weekly visits or phone calls.

To become a friendly visitor, you will have to complete an application, provide two non-familial references, consent to a background check and interview. We ask that you commit to at least six months once the right match is found for you.
