Your main goal will be to help elderly who suffer from loneliness and social isolation. How? By visiting them, creating friendships, participating in/creating social activities for them. And more specificaly by helping them to become familiar with digital tools (smartphone, internet, tablet...), which have become essential to remain connected with others nowadays! You will join of a local team of French volunteers of all ages. We want to allow you to have a memorable and exciting experience of volunteering within a well-known organization where staff and volunteers work alongside! In France, we are already a solidarity chain of 15 000 local volunteers and 400 staff!
