My name is Charles Leibovitch, and I am the peer support services coordinator for a community seniors organization called Jewish Seniors Alliance of Greater Vancouver. We currently provide peer support and friendly visiting/friendly phone calls to over 100 clients. We are receiving an increasing demand for volunteers to go out for a walk on a weekly or regular basis with our seniors a Due to the impact of COVID many seniors experienced increased anxiety, isolation and loneliness. With the coming of Spring and the soon relaxation of restrictions our seniors would greatly benefit from your students going out for walks with them.
