About this Opportunity

Join Me for Walks, Mall Adventures & Starbucks Sips and then we can share some piano music. You can give me something to look forward to on the dark winter days when I cannot get out alone. Due to legal blindness, I cannot get out on my own and I am not near the bus line if you have an hour or two every other week, I would appreciate getting to know you. Other individuals who are legally blind are living around Connecticut and they would also love to have a volunteer buddy.

Requirements to be a great volunteer include:

  • a desire to help others;
  • a pleasant demeanor;
  • a good reading/speaking voice;
  • average reading skills;
  • organizational or planning abilities;
  • a good driving record;
  • a clear criminal history;
  • two references
  • access to a car with proof of insurance;

a minimum of $50/100k liability and $5,000 of property damage coverage
