How it Works
-
Overview
Our Senior Buddy Program is a proven service that connects specially trained college students with older adults to foster meaningful relationships . Through regular one-on-one visits, students offer consistent companionship, emotional support, and moments of connection—helping reduce loneliness and bring joy to each visit.
-
ONBOARDING & TRAINING
Our student volunteers undergo a rigorous screening process that includes interviews and specialized training.
-
Lasting Relationships
Through a minimum one-year commitment, volunteers create lasting intergenerational relationships that reduce isolation, foster connection, and bring consistent joy and support to their senior buddies.
-
Group Activities
Alongside compassionate one-on-one visits, our students create engaging group activities like Bingo, storytelling, arts and crafts, and holiday celebrations that uplift and connect the entire community.
-
Comfort & Care
We go above and beyond to bring comfort and cheer to our buddies by creating thoughtfully curated comfort kits filled with cozy blankets, soothing tea, a thermos, engaging activities, and more.
