The Lonely No More program consists of weekly teleconference calls (Elder Circles) between isolated seniors, facilitated by educated community members (volunteers) using a three prong approach to combating social isolation: peer support, coaching conversations and system navigation.

We are offering free training to community members that are interested in becoming Lonely No More volunteers on April 7 at 1 pm. This training will cover Lonely No More's outreach model and provide you with details around this volunteer opportunity. This training session is a foundational component for those interested in volunteering with Gateway's Lonely No More Program.
