Do you want to make a meaningful difference for older people in your community?
Caritas Stavanger is looking for kind, patient, and multilingual volunteers to join our program “Together in Time”. This initiative is designed for people aged 65+ with an immigrant background, who may experience loneliness or social isolation.
Your role as a volunteer is to help create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where participants can feel seen, heard, and connected.
What will you do as a volunteer?
You will spend time with participants through simple and enjoyable activities such as:
- Conversations over coffee or tea
- Board games and social activities
- Creative workshops (drawing, crafts, etc.)
- Short walks and light physical activity
- Cooking and sharing meals
- Supporting a friendly and inclusive atmosphere
Your presence and kindness are more important than specific skills.
Who are we looking for?
We are especially looking for volunteers who:
- Speak more than one language (e.g. Ukrainian, Arabic, etc.)
- Are comfortable interacting with elderly participants (65+)
- Are patient, respectful, and open-minded
- Enjoy social interaction and helping others feel included
Experience working with older adults is a plus, but not required.
Why volunteer with us?
- Make a real impact on the lives of older immigrants
- Help reduce loneliness and build community
- Gain valuable experience and meet new people
- Be part of a supportive volunteer team
- Receive guidance and follow-up from Caritas Stavanger
Practical information
