About this Opportunity
You can give the MOST priceless gift EVER to your neighbor, and it won't cost you anything. That's right, an amazing gift with no price tag, no wrapping, receipts or coupons, no rebate and no cell phone app to download.
Just you and my friend who is legally blind spending an hour or two per week doing what friends do. A little shopping, some guided walks, reading a little mail or a magazine, maybe getting coffee or pastry at the local bistro on Rt. 99.
It is so easy and the timing is perfect. You can make your own schedule and be totally independent with your new friend; knowing I am here to provide coaching, support and fresh ideas. Just 10 minutes and 10 business days will get you started.
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 (don't worry, we have work-arounds for those with more modest insurance).
