Fostering intergenerational friendships and reducing loneliness

If you are looking for a way to make a real impact on the life of a local person, consider joining our Friendly Visitor program. Friendly visitors are matched with an older adult or an adult with a disability for weekly visits or phone calls.

Currently, 20 volunteers are serving in this role. Volunteers create an important social connection by providing companionship through regular visits to people who are at risk of feeling isolated due to aging, mobility impairments, or other reasons.

JFS currently has clients who are seeking a friendly visitor. These relationships often deepen into friendships that are genuinely meaningful to both people.

Volunteers are asked to commit for six months or more. A background check and COVID-19 vaccination are required for this role. Reach out to Tina in Boulder or Marissa in Denver for more information.
