Time Out Respite Program- English, Cantonese or Hindi speakers needed

"We are currently looking for 4 volunteers to support our Time Out Respite Program. This initiative provides meaningful companionship to seniors while offering their caregivers a short break to run errands or tend to other responsibilities.  There is one Hindi speaker and one Cantonese speaker so if you speak either of these, please apply and let us know which language you speak.  If you only speak English, we also need 2 English speakers, we also need your help.

We are ideally looking for volunteers who have experience or interest in working with older adults — such as those with a background in caregiving, counseling, or senior services — although it’s not a strict requirement. What matters most is their comfort and willingness to spend time with seniors in their homes, engaging in conversation, games, or simply offering a friendly presence.

Key details:
Commitment: One visit every two weeks
Timing: Visits must take place during weekday working hours
Location: Seniors’ homes in the community

If you think you may be a good fit or would be interested in this opportunity, please feel free to connect with Anu (aismail@mpnh.org).  She will provide more details or arrange a brief orientation.
