Volunteer Opportunity: Haitian Creole-Speaking Friend Needed

Providence Elder Place PACE is a unique and compassionate program that helps older adults stay healthy, independent, and connected to their communities for as long as they choose. As part of our mission, we’re urgently seeking a Haitian Creole-speaking volunteer to bring joy and companionship to one of our participants.

Being a Volunteer Friend

This is a special opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with a Haitian Creole-speaking elder. You’ll connect through phone calls and in-person visits, sharing stories, songs, photos, whatever brings you both joy. Your presence can make a lasting impact.
