This week we feature Attorney Leah Kofos’ interview with FriendshipWorks Executive Director, Janet Seckel-Cerrotti. FriendshipWorks is a nonprofit that reduces elder isolation by connecting volunteers with older adults for friendship and support. We appreciate Janet taking the time to share her wisdom and experience with us.
Since 1984, FriendshipWorks has been matching caring volunteers with elders in need of companionship, support, and assistance. Whether it’s a weekly visit from a Friendly Visitor, completing a household task with a Friendly Helper, a Medical Escort to be there for a medical appointment, the joy of a PetPals visit, or a MusicWorks session, these five programs bring warmth, connection, and friendship into the lives of Boston’s older adults.
