‘Helper’ Volunteer Position
Make an uplifting connection with seniors in your neighbourhood who are
impacted during these hard times. Lift your own spirits through uplifting others.
Overview
Neighborli is a new online platform designed to build meaningful and impactful social
engagement with a focus on dealing with the challenges of a rapidly aging society. We

Our mission is to help older adults age in place comfortably and affordably through
providing companionship and help around the home. We accomplish this through
providing opportunities for students to build intergenerational communication skills,
make an impactful social connection with someone in your neighborhood who is feeling
isolated at this time, and foster empathy for older generations. This is a non-paid
volunteer position until the platform has gained traction resulting in a potential paid
opportunity in the near future.
