Elderly Befriender

During the session, befrienders will visit the elderly at the homes or at the Senior Activity Centre to conduct activities and interact with them. Activities differ every week, ranging from games such as jenga to art and crafts activities such as clay modelling. After getting to know the elderly and their living habits through a few sessions, befrienders will then try to impart skills to seniors to encourage them to better care for their health.

Fluency in one language/ dialect other than English is required.

Please try to attend all (if not as many sessions as possible) sessions, as we hope that the elderly can also see familiar faces.

Note that some shifts may be a week apart because they are days reserved in the event that we may not be able to conduct our sessions on a specific day

Organising Committee

We are looking for a group of volunteers who are equally as passionate about our cause to take over our project in the long run. 

The job scopes include:

• Calling the elderly a few days before each session to check their availability
• Managing the volunteers (Checking their attendance before each session)
• Asking for volunteer feedback after each session (to see if there are any things to note about the elderly)
• Publicizing/Planning possible activities for mass engagement (if applicable, based on the plans of the future committee)

For these volunteers, we hope they can first join us for our sessions to experience it hands-on before taking over!

If you're interested in our project and want to help us continue it in the long run, please sign up!

You can form a group and sign up together if a few of you wish to work together. Else, we try to form a team based on the number of volunteers we have!
