How can I volunteer and talk to elderly?

I think it is important to try and understand people, to be wiling to listen and to be willing to learn.

You can always try looking for volunteer opportunities within your own community. You should first try starting with something that's suitable for yourself, and then you could start to challenge yourself.

You can volunteer by signing up to be a listener on 7cupsoftea and choosing to want to talk to the elderly

I recommend volunteering at a retirement home in your area! A lot of retirement homes are looking for people to help them out and enjoy speaking with the residents.

Yes (most likely). However, without knowing your specific location I cannot tell you where to do so. Contact a local volunteer organization. A simple google search for something along the lines of "community volunteering" or "volunteer opportunities in [insert location here]" should be a good start.

If there is an elder care or nursing home near you, you could try calling them and asking about volunteer opportunities. If you don't mind the volunteer activity not specifically helping the elderly, I've spoken to and worked with many older people while volunteering at animal shelters and in charity thrift stores. One other option might be inquiring about volunteer opportunities with the elderly at your local library, especially if you have some tech knowledge or other skills you could share with them. Many libraries have programs like this that you could potentially help out with.

Check with your City Hall building. Usually there are volunteer opportunities posted on their bulletin board. Also you can use the web to research volunteer opportunities with the elderly in your area.

Go to a retirement home! They love visitors!

go to a old folks home and meet people that may not get lots of visitors and start a friendship with them alot of time family members have given up on them when they need them most

I used to go with my youth center and do volunteer work. I worked with kids, teens, and elderly. Talking to elderly is a harder thing to do, but since I used to go with some other teens, it was more comfortable. We went to Seniors and Teens lunch-ins, where we (teens) took the seniors orders, got them food, talked with them, and played bingo and had dances with them. It's really enjoyable, and it's something I think everyone should experience at least once.
