Our organization has several client in Jamaica (and surrounding areas) who have interesting stories to share at weekly visits or phone calls. Queens Community House’s Friendly Visiting Program seeks volunteers to provide thoughtful and engaging weekly phone calls to isolated older adults with range of interests, hobbies, religious and political beliefs. Visits can be either in person or via phone.

To become a friendly visitor, you will have to complete an application and some other paperwork, provide two non-familial references, consent to a background check and interview . The process can take two to four weeks. There is short weekly reporting about your visits or phone calls and phone check-ins with the staff every three months. We ask that you commit to at least six months once the right match is found for you.
