Volunteer Befrienders combat loneliness by accompanying lonely persons at community level to re-
establish human connectedness and stave off loneliness. Volunteer Befriending opportunities offer

you the chance to bring joy and companionship to individuals who feel lonely and emarginated.
Many people in our community are in desperate need of human connectedness. As a Volunteer
Befriender, you will be matched with a lonely individual whom you can support through weekly visits
and follow-up phone calls. Your presence and support can make a world of difference in their lives.
