Friendly Voice Project is a phone buddy program for senior LGBTQ+ people in the Albuquerque Metropolitan Area. The program provides guests, those receiving calls, a trained volunteer who makes weekly, conversational calls to reduce a guest’s isolation and feelings of loneliness, and to connect them with the senior LGBTQ+ community of Albuquerque. Callers are trained to facilitate meaningful conversation and provide contacts for additional resources to meet their needs. Overall, the program improves the well-being, mental health, and
happiness of all participants.
Participate in the Friendly Voice Project
Make a difference in the life of an elderly LGBTQ+ senior with one call a week. Whether making or receiving a call your communication will improve the life of another senior through meaningful stories, sharing resources, resolving challenges, and making a personal connection.
