Membership

Whether you join us to participate in our services, become a volunteer, a contributing member, or choose to do all, you will be joining an established, trusted, accepting, compassionate, connected community where everyone’s contributions matter and everyone is always welcome regardless of race, religion, age, orientation, gender, or beliefs.

Benefits for our members:

As an older adult member, you will have access to all our services. Whether you like to reach out yourself for a good phone chat or you prefer the friendship of a regular caller, you have that choice. If you feel like taking the next step, we can pair you with a Visiting Companion to visit with in person. Your preferences and choices are important to us, and we will do our best to ensure your opportunities for connection and community are meaningful and gratifying.

In addition, as a member of our community, you will have access to special social events, holiday celebrations, greeting cards, and our Among Friends newsletters, which are packed with personal stories, updates on our happenings, and more. Finally, you are welcome to reach out to us anytime and let us know how you are doing. We love hearing from our members!

Benefits of being a volunteer:

If you are considering volunteering, you will be joined by others who share the same passion for creating connections and building community. Our team will provide all the training, resources, and support you need to develop meaningful connections and friendships. We provide weekly updates via our Among Volunteers E-Newsletters, which feature stories about our members and friends, valuable tips, and inspirational articles and videos. Whether you choose to be a Coffee Talker, Phone or Visiting Companion, Cards Connect maker, Skills-Based Volunteer, supporter, or a Board member, we believe you will find value and meaning in your volunteer role and your membership in the Friends and Co community.
