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.
