Mission Statement

The mission of FriendshipWorks, Inc. is to reduce social isolation, enhance the quality of life, and preserve the dignity of older adults in the greater Boston area. We do this through the dedicated efforts of a network of trained volunteers of all faiths who provide friendship, advocacy, education, assistance, and emotional support.

About This Cause

FriendshipWorks offers a variety of volunteer programs that build relationships, as well as provide short-term assistance to seniors, with the goal of meeting our mission to reduce social isolation in elders in Boston and Brookline. We match volunteers with elders to create long-term friendships, send medical escorts to help elders get to and from appointments, offer music and arts programs in nursing homes and senior residences, and visit long-term care facilities with pet/volunteer teams. All our programs aim to create connections that reduce social isolation and loneliness in our elder population.
