Villanova ReachOut is currently looking for volunteers! Any undergraduate or graduate student, faculty, staff, or alumni can join. Training is easy and fast, it is low commitment, and it is a great way to increase your communication skills! We hope to have you on our team.

Social isolation can impact an older adult in so many negative ways. To fight against social isolation ReachOut pairs students with an older adult partner to converse with. The article linked below describes the loneliness issue in older adults that ReachOut intends to address!

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all in a variety of ways, but older adults have been specifically vulnerable. Older adults are both in the high risk category for the virus and are at high risk for experiencing loneliness during this time. (1/2)
