My Nonprofit Reviews

As the current Program Coordinator with Befrienders, I’ve experienced firsthand how incredible this organization is. Not only enriches the lives of older adults we serve but has also impacted my well-being. Working with older adults has been a transformative experience, growing my professional and personal growth.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is how unpredictable life can be—and how essential programs like Befrienders are in providing the social support that can change someone’s life in so many ways. Seniors come to us seeking companionship for a variety of reasons, but once they’re matched with a volunteer and begin to nurture a genuine friendship, the results are consistently uplifting.

The gratitude expressed by seniors and volunteers, whether in their voices, attitudes, or feedback, is heartwarming and inspiring. Seeing how these connections bring joy and meaning to their lives is a constant reminder of the importance of this mission.

For me, each new relationship is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a difference. Being part of a program that creates meaningful connections and significantly improves the lives of others is a gift I treasure every day.
