Inspiring Buddy/Companion

Through our Inspiring Buddy program, our purpose is to match caring individuals with seniors who could benefit from regular social interaction and assistance with some every day tasks. By becoming an Inspiring Buddy, you can provide companionship, support and friendship to seniors and make a positive impact in their lives in this simple and yet meaningful way.

As a Buddy, your role is to be a friendly and supportive presence in their life and it may involve:

  • Visiting the senior in their home or at a care facility for social activities and conversation or connecting with them virtually over a video call
  • Going for walks, enjoying other outings or hobbies/interests together
  • Providing assistance with simple tasks or errands, if needed
  • Offer emotional support and a listening ear during difficult times
  • Building a trusting and respectful relationship based on mutual understanding and companionship
  • It is not just seniors, we expect volunteer buddies to also gain valuable experience in communication, empathy and caregiving and forge a special bond and build lasting friendships with older adults in the community.
