Accompaniment - pairs

The project "Accompaniment - pairs" invites volunteers to create permanent pairs "client+volunteer" in order to socialise and complete daily chores of elderly people on a long-term basis (minimum 3 months). If you want to become a reliable support for an elderly person, share the warmth of companionship and help with daily tasks, we are waiting for you in our team!

Main task: Spending time with the elderly person, including walks, meetings, socialising and doing tasks if requested.

Work schedule: Per month, with a minimum 3 month commitment.

We are looking for volunteers of all ages who are patient, responsive, enthusiastic, proactive and creative in their approaches to communication. Ideal candidates should be responsible, able to hold a conversation and be willing to interact with seniors on a one-to-one basis. Join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need your attention and support!

Hi all!

My name is Nikita Katernyuk, I am 15 years old and I am in the 10th grade. I love making new friends and trying new things. For a long time, my main goal was to improve my communication skills, to become a more sociable person, and then I realized that volunteering is a great opportunity for my socialization.

After a long search for a suitable volunteer center, I settled on the RVC. I also have a lot of good memories associated with this place, because as a child I attended a children’s camp from «KEDEM», but then, I still did not know about my Jewish roots. When I first came to the RVC, I was struck by the huge number of projects that are aimed at helping both the elderly and children. For me, the opportunity to get acquainted with the culture and traditions of the Jewish people, which is provided by the RVC, is also very important.

For 2 months of my volunteer activity, I managed to participate in such projects and promotions as delivery within the framework of the «Healthy Vitamin Box», «Call Center», the seminar «Sources of Mercy», «Love Story», «IT-DED», «All to the museum» and «Chisinau residents of the 20th century». I try to join all directions of the RVC, but for the most part I specialize in the «Sources of Mercy» project.

Volunteering has become for me a truly favorite thing, my journey in which is just beginning. I am very glad that I am part of the team of the Republican Volunteer Center! After all, it was here that I developed new abilities and talents in myself, and also learned that I am part of the Jewish people, for whom Jewish culture is important, and I want to learn more about it.”
