Description

Are you a compassionate and friendly individual who enjoys gentle walks, light outings, and meaningful conversations? We’re looking for a Companion Volunteer to spend time with a vibrant 60-year-old participant who would love company for short walks and visits to nearby places like the waterfront, Target, or local shopping centers.

 About the Participant:

  • Mobility: Ambulates safely with a walker
  • Personality: Alert, oriented, and enjoys conversation (especially when others initiate)
  • Interests: Shopping, nature walks, and outings that bring small joys

What We’re Looking For:

  • A volunteer who is comfortable and confident accompanying someone using a walker
  • Someone who is compassionate and understanding of the changes that come with aging
  • A person who can initiate friendly conversation and help make outings enjoyable and safe

 Why Volunteer?

Your presence can make a world of difference. Whether it’s a stroll by the water or a quick trip to Target, these moments bring joy, connection, and dignity to someone who values companionship.
