Why become a volunteer?
Make a real difference: Spend time with older adults
Volunteer at United to visit and spend time with Spanish-speaking older adults. United aims to provide companionship to seniors who are isolated and lack regular social interaction. By sharing your time to chat, walk, and enjoy an afternoon together, you not only alleviate their loneliness but also enrich your own life with their stories and wisdom. This volunteer work offers immediate emotional benefits to the older person and profound personal satisfaction to you.
Discover the power of human connection
Join as a volunteer at United and delve into the power of human connection. Interacting with older adults, you will develop communication and empathy skills while making a valuable contribution to society. Volunteering is a rewarding activity, as you bring joy and company to those who need it most.
Build unique friendships
Volunteering at United is an excellent way to build meaningful friendships with older adults who deeply appreciate the time you share with them. By volunteering, you not only expand your social network with individuals who share your values of empathy and care but also actively contribute to reducing loneliness in your community. The volunteer experience promotes emotional well-being for both the volunteer and the older person, often leading to meaningful friendships.
