Volunteers meet monthly with staff of Turner Senior Wellness Program to provide feedback on program experiences, to offer insight and suggestions for future activities and services including fundraising and development.
Volunteers visit older persons virtually through one-on-one phone calls for about one hour every week or two. Supervision is given by the program coordinator with opportunities for training and connection to other friendly visitor volunteers. This volunteer opportunity is perfect for someone who would like to make a huge difference in the lives of others and can be done almost 100% remotely.
