Conversations to Remember is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated to combating loneliness and isolation felt by older adults, including those living with dementia. This volunteer opportunity for undergraduate students matches 2-3 college students with older adults for virtual video visits. Many of these older adults have been suffering from isolation, and you could help brighten their days!
Our virtual visit volunteers are young adults who participate in video visits with seniors every week on our online platform. Each week, they return to meet with the same senior to share stories about what is going on in their lives. We’re looking for outgoing, chatty volunteers who can commit to one-hour visits each week on the same day and time for a minimum of 16 weeks. The goal of these visits is to create intergenerational relationships between senior citizens and young college students.
This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as we have new virtual visits starting all the time. Students are matched with older adults for calls based on the times when they're available and have regular, weekly appointments for their visits.
Training: 90-minute webinar, 10-minute video, and 45-minute virtual simulation. Weekly commitment: 1 hour.
