How do I start volunteering?
Using the google form attached at the end of the "Send A Card" page, you can send a card to our partner facilities. If you want to do a phone or video call, you need to fill out the "Become a Volunteer" form. The Senior Isolation Sidekicks team will contact you to schedule a short training session in the following week. During the training session, you will be provided with information on how to sign up for a time slot for a phone/video call, on how phone calls and video calls work, and on behavior expectations and etiquette for communicating with seniors that you are paired up with.
What if I am not able to make it to my phone/video call slot anymore?
Contact us as soon as possible so we can give the slot to someone else. Please only cancel your slot if you are feeling unwell or cannot connect to Wifi during your time slot.
