“Golden companion” is an intergenerational program connecting middle and high school students (member companions) and older adults (member participants) to engage in social and wellness activities during the COVID-19 Pandemic period through virtual communication.
Introduction:
Golden Companions is a program dedicated to helping the older generation feel less isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, we all need someone to be by our side and accompany us through these hard times. We will help do this in many creative ways, including but not limited to playing games, watching movies, or even eating a meal together! Each Golden Companion will meet weekly with a participant from the older generation and interact with them via video call to help alleviate any loneliness they may be feeling. Every member will receive volunteer hours for their service, but it’s more than just that! Interacting with seniors is such a rewarding experience, and you will not regret participating! We might even be saving lives! If you are interested in participating in this meaningful operation, please fill out the application form [here].
