Summary

We’re looking for a team of 6 volunteers to lead a fulfilling mission: providing meaningful companionship to elderly members of our community.

Detailed description

This is a perfect opportunity for a small group of friends, colleagues, or an existing team looking to make a direct and lasting impact — while also strengthening your teamwork, communication, and planning skills.


What’s the project?

You and your team will be matched with elderly community members who are eager for company — a friendly chat, board games, storytelling, or just sharing a laugh over coffee. Some of these elders may face physical challenges or live alone without regular family visits, while others simply want to reconnect and socialize.

What makes this perfect for project-minded volunteers?

As a volunteer team, you’ll not only visit the elderly — you’ll also have the freedom to plan creative activities, set up visit schedules, and even organize mini social events that brighten someone’s day. It’s like managing a mini community project where your skills in coordination, communication, and creativity come to life.


What’s expected?

  • Commit to regular visits (to be scheduled as a team — flexibility is key!)
  • Be ready to travel to the homes of the elderly (transportation support can be discussed if needed).
  • Bring your best attitude — compassion, patience, and a sense of fun!
