Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

FRIENDSHIPWORKS SIGNATURE FRIENDLY VISITING PROGRAM MAKES INFORMAL, LONG-LASTING FRIENDSHIP MATCHES BETWEEN ISOLATED ELDERS AND COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, REWARDING TO BOTH. MATCHES SHARE EXPERIENCES AND FAVORITE ACTIVITIES, AND RECOGNIZE ONE ANOTHER'S INDIVIDUALITY AND PASSIONS. MANY CALL ON FRIENDSHIPWORKS BECAUSE THEY ARE WITHOUT FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WITH AGE, A LACK OF FRIENDSHIP CAN BECOME AN OBSTACLE TO INDEPENDENCE. FRIENDSHIPWORKS VOLUNTEERS ALSO DESIRE TO GIVE BACK THROUGH CONNECTION. THROUGH INFORMAL FRIENDSHIP MATCHES, FRIENDSHIPWORKS IS BREATHING LIFE INTO A LOST TRADITION OF NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS. DUE TO THE SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 ALL IN-PERSON FRIENDLY VISITING TEMPORARILY STOPPED AND WAS MOVED TO TELEPHONE OR VIRTUAL VISITS. FRIENDLY VISITING AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES AND ARE BEING MONITORED FOR NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS AS CONDITIONS CHANGE.


FRIENDSHIPWORKS' MEDICAL ESCORT PROGRAM PROVIDES VOLUNTEERS WHO ESCORT ELDERS TO AND FROM MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND PHYSICAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHOSE AGE, HEALTH, OR DISABILITY WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM GOING TO AN APPOINTMENT.


MUSICWORKS IS A PROGRAM THAT REDUCES ISOLATION AMONG FRAIL AND/OR ISOLATED ELDERS THROUGH THE SHARED EXPERIENCE OF MUSIC. PARTICIPANTS INTERACT WITH THE MUSIC, SINGING, PLAYING INSTRUMENTS, DANCING, AND OF COURSE, LISTENING. MUSICWORKS BRINGS JOY AND CONNECTIVITY INTO THE LIVES OF OLDER ADULTS. MUSICWORKS HAS BEEN A FIRST STEP TOWARDS BRINGING THE ARTS INTO ALL OUR PROGRAMS AND AT IN FY 2022 WAS OFFERED IN TWICE MONTHLY IN TWELVE SPANISH AND ENGLISH-SPEAKING SITES IN BOSTON.
