Since 1984, FriendshipWorks' enduring mission has been to reduce social isolation among older adults in Greater Boston including Brookline, Newton, Somerville, and Cambridge. Our programs focus on creating connections between volunteers and their elder matches for friendship, companionship, and assistance. Our programs include Medical Escorts, Friendly Visiting, Friendly Helping, MusicWorks, and PetPals. Si, Hablamos español!
Thanks to FriendshipWorks' 500+ volunteers, more than 1700+ older adults are able to attend medical appointments, receive assistance with tasks, enjoy music outdoors, experience friendship, and the unconditional love of a pet. By creating these connections that lead to friendships, volunteers help reduce the social isolation that many older adults living alone experience.
Did you know that our volunteers also benefit from spending time with their match? FriendshipWorks volunteers report that they:
*Gained a sense of purpose
*Received the gift of friendship
*Felt connected and less lonely
*Filled a void left by the loss of a loved one
*Were reinvigorated by making an impact in their community
*Learned resilience and perseverance particularly while volunteering during the pandemic
