    Phone Buddy for Isolated Seniors

    Who are we? What do we do?

    We are compassionate, trained volunteers serving as phone buddies to isolated seniors. Our weekly conversations alleviate loneliness and create a vital human connection.

    What to expect as a Friendly Voices volunteer:

    • 60-90 minutes time investment per week. You'll be matched with 2 seniors, each of whom you'll call every week at a scheduled day/time. Each phone conversation is about 30 minutes. Typically these conversations are on weekdays between 9am-5pm PT. (We primarily serve clients in California.)
    • Training is 2 hours by Zoom. Our next training will take place in May, 2025. 6-month volunteer commitment after training is expected. Age 40+ preferred.

    Please note that we will reply to your message from marcia@friendlyvoices.org. Please check your spam folder if you don't receive our reply!
