Job description

Volunteer: Remote Opportunity - Sunshine Caller

Join us as a Sunshine Caller with Family Pathways and make a difference in your community from home!

Family Pathways has been supporting neighbors since 1978, working across Minnesota and Wisconsin to provide essential services such as food access, domestic and sexual assault services, aging support, and thrift stores that promote environmental stewardship.

We invite volunteers from all backgrounds, including youth groups, service organizations, businesses, and educational institutions. Some volunteers also complete community service hours through court programs.

As a Sunshine Caller, you will remotely contact isolated older adults to check on their well-being and provide social contact. Training will be provided in empathy and communication skills. Calls typically occur over four weeks, with 2-4 calls per week, focusing on light, friendly conversations about topics like gardening or recipes. You may choose to continue with weekly check-ins after this period.

Your role includes noting details after each call for monthly reports and reporting any immediate concerns. To apply, visit www.familypathways.org/volunteer or contact us at [e-mail].

Join us to connect with neighbors and bring kindness into their lives!
