**Friendly Visiting (Volunteer Role)**
**This volunteer position is hybrid and can be performed 1-2 hours per week**
As a volunteer of the Friendly Visiting Program, you will provide regular weekly visits to the home of a client, or provide regular weekly telephone calls to a client if requested/recommended.
The purpose of the Friendly Visiting Program is to provide frail, isolated seniors, adults with disabilities and/or dementia with a long lasting connection to their community, by matching them with a volunteer who will visit or call on a regular basis at an arranged time.
Volunteers and clients engage in meaningful social relationships that are not only beneficial for the clients, but the volunteers as well. Visits are primarily social in nature and do not involve personal care or homemaking services.
By addressing social isolation, the Friendly Visiting program aims to prevent and alleviate the physical and mental health risks associated with social disconnect. The goal is to develop a warm and friendly relationship with the client while encouraging independent living within the community.
This position will suit people who are:
- Reliable, committed, compassionate, empathetic, warm, caring and open
- Excellent listeners
- Interested in other people
- Have good boundaries and self-care
