Phone calls at the office of the association in support of the "Old Friends"

Lonely, elderly people often have a high need for conversation. In order to be able to meet this need, we are looking for volunteer support for our association Freunde alter Menschen e.V. in our office in Berlin Mitte.

Your Tasks

Do you enjoy talking on the phone and exchanging ideas with older people? Listening to them and finding out contact information for other organizations or institutions when needed? Do you find networking requests exciting rather than challenging? And you have experience in setting yourself apart? Then you're just the person we're looking for.

What's needed

An intensive training period will help you find your way around and enable you to work more independently, step by step. You should have a general understanding of databases and digital document repositories in order to be able to make the best use of everything that is already available.

Time required

Time frame: A few hours a week (for training Mon-Fri, flexible thereafter), office hours approx. 9am-5pm.

Important notice

With the honorary position you would be involved in an internationally active, non-profit association and would have the opportunity to participate in internal, Germany-wide training.

We are part of an international volunteer organisation called "les petits frères des Pauvres", founded in France and dedicated to helping elderly people who are affected or threatened by loneliness and isolation. Our organisation has been active in Europe since 1946 and is now also active in North America. It also has consultative status with the United Nations (UN).
