Volunteering for Smile on Seniors
(9th - 12th Graders)
Q: What is "volunteering for smile on seniors?"
A: You and another volunteer will be paired up with 2-4 seniors and spend one hour hanging out together- playing board games, chatting, reading books or telling jokes! You will form an incredible relationship with your senior buddy. In their older age, seniors are lonely and are looking for someone to connect to. It will be an enriching & meaningful experience. This multi-generational connection is a new volunteer opportunity that we are excited to offer to you!
Q: When and where do we meet?
A: Volunteers meet for one hour, once a month on Sunday at CareOne in Sharon. After you register, you will receive the full year calendar.
Q: What is the requirement?
A: You must be committed to show up every month as your "senior buddy" will be waiting for you.
Q: Does this qualify as volunteer hours for my school or other programs?
A: YES. Reach out to Chanie to sign your paperwork.
