Many seniors in our community experience isolation and loneliness. Friendly Visiting is a meaningful way to give back to the community and make a difference in the life of a senior. Our Friendly Visitor Volunteers explore common interests, share experiences, and build connections with their senior pair. You may also learn something new yourself! Make a significant difference in the lives of older Calgarians experiencing isolation and loneliness! Learn from someone with a different life experience! *Anyone over the age of 18 can apply for this position, and we also have a need for volunteers who are seniors themselves.
