Join Us in Bridging Generations and Combating Loneliness!

Are you an outgoing college or high school student looking to make a meaningful impact? Conversations to Remember is on a mission to connect seniors, including those with cognitive decline, with vibrant young adults like you to fight social isolation and loneliness. By volunteering, you'll bring joy and companionship to seniors, creating lasting intergenerational bonds.

Why Volunteer with Us?

  • 100% Virtual: All visits are conducted online, so you can volunteer from the comfort of your home, dorm, or any suitable location.
  • Flexible and Convenient: No need to travel. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a device capable of video calls.
  • Easy-to-Use Platform: Our user-friendly software is accessible directly from our website, with no downloads required. Comprehensive training is provided.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Outgoing and Chatty Volunteers: If you love to talk and share stories, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
  • Commitment: We ask for a commitment of one hour per week, on the same day and time, for a minimum of 16 weeks.
  • Consistency: You'll meet with the same senior each week, building a meaningful relationship over time.

Your Role: As a virtual visit volunteer, you'll engage in weekly video calls with seniors, sharing stories and experiences. Your presence will brighten their day and help combat the loneliness epidemic.
