The main objective of the volunteer action is to alleviate the negative effects of unwanted loneliness in the elderly and encourage active and healthy aging. REGISTRATION IS OPEN UNTIL APRIL 13, 2025. If you want to collaborate, once the official selection process is finished, please send us an email to martalara@jovesolides.org.
FUNCTIONS OF THE VOLUNTEER
The selected volunteers will accompany small groups of elderly people in various socio-cultural activities in the city. The meetings will be varied: cultural visits, routes through the city, walking tours, meetings to have coffee and chat...
In addition, these meetings will solve doubts that people may have in their daily lives with the use of their smartphones. They will also be offered information on public and leisure resources that may be of interest to them.
On the other hand, this year a new activity has been added to the program: the dynamization of ICT workshops for the elderly in municipalities affected by the DANA of October 29, 2024.
