description
Social Call aims to shape a culture that celebrates the strengths, needs, and assets of older adults in all our communities through a Friendly Visiting program. We pair older adult participants (age 60+) with volunteers (age 18+) for weekly, 30-45 minute phone or video chats. Matching is based on shared interests, personality, background, and schedules. We ask program members to commit to meeting the same individual for at least six months; however, most matches connect for over a year.

business hours
9am- 5 pm Pacific Time; Social Call program hours vary outside of this timeframe.

The Drawing Studio is a Non-Profit arts-based community that centers on the individual and our collective self. Through art practice, our Teaching Artists are skillfully adding value to the lives of those participating and creating a shared space where we can approach our diverse cultures & pathways. We believe this is the foundation for building ourselves & our neighbors intentionally with love & care.

Our costs move from free to a price structure according to a 3-hour timeframe for $60/session. In either case, we are centering our Teaching Artist's pay equity. This is a key concern, as we work to establish working artists as professionals (many of whom are elderly).
