SOS orientation is: Sunday, February 6 from 5:30-6:45pm on ZOOM.
Q: What is "volunteering for smile on seniors?"
A: You and another volunteer will be paired up with 2-4 seniors and spend one hour hanging out together- playing board games, chatting, reading books or telling jokes! You will form an incredible relationship with your senior buddy. In their older age, seniors are lonely and are looking for someone to connect to. It will be a enriching, meaningful and impactful experience. This multi-generational connection is a new volunteer opportunity that we are excited to offer to you!

A: Volunteers meet for one hour, once a month on Sunday mornings at the Whitney Place in Sharon. After you register, you will receive the full year calendar.
Q: What is the requirement?
A: You must be committed to show up every month as your "senior buddy" will be waiting for you.
Q: Do I need to wear a mask?
A: Yes.
Q: Does this qualify as volunteer hours for my school or other programs?
A: YES. Reach out to Chanie to sign your paperwork.
