The non-profit has plenty of volunteers who are trained and ready to chat, but is having more trouble getting senior centers signed up to take advantage of these willing volunteers.
I hope to make a better movie once we get more footage, but here's a little movie I made of a video-chat session with a senior.
Do you want to help? Here's how!
Join the Online Buddy Program
Isolated Seniors:
Do you know anyone who is facing social isolation who might want to join the Online Buddy Program? Please have them contact SWS at volunteering@seniorswithskills.org.
Senior Facilities:
Do you know of a senior facility that houses seniors who would benefit from receiving video chats and might want to be part of the Online Buddy Program. Please have them contact SWS at volunteering@seniorswithskills.org.

Do you know anyone (news, blog, social media?) who might be interested in featuring this story to raise awareness of this cause, and encourage more seniors living at home who are facing social isolation to join the Online Buddy Program?
