Conversations to Remember is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to combating loneliness and isolation felt by senior citizens. Our virtual visit program matches 2-3 college students with residents of long-term care, assisted living, and memory care communities for virtual video visits. These residents have been suffering from isolation, and you could really brighten their days just by speaking with them. We provide training to the students in the program about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout their service. Since these visits are virtual, you can participate without any travel. This is both convenient, and allows more of your time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to your volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have students from around the country as well. We hope that you will volunteer to help our seniors.

Typically, students volunteer 1-2 hours per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior's attention span and mood on each day. We expect students to volunteer for approximately 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as we have new seniors starting all the time, and train new volunteers weekly. The students are matched based on the times that they're available, with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing for more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting us with our social media, call support, or outreach.

Register to volunteer on our website, https://conversationstoremember.org.

Are you good at helping people put their life on a tax form?  You will get all the training you need to save local families LOTS of money by helping them get their taxes done for free.  Or volunteer to help with desk duty, welcoming and directing clients to meet with tax preparers.

More questions?  Call Lydia at 251-380-7150 or Lgaudet@goodwillgc.org

Math with numbers AND letters?  Together???!! Not everyone can wrap their heads around it.  Our GED students need to master Algebra and Geometry basics if they hope to pass the test (and they DO HOPE to pass it!) You can help them pull it together as a Math Tutor with Goodwill Gulf Coast! 

Sign up to check if the scheduling will work for you--we have flexible shifts.  You can make a BIG impact with a little time and effort!
