- Conversations To Remember Volunteer Opportunity
My name is Harin Kim, and I am a student volunteer with Conversations to Remember, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated towards combating loneliness and isolation felt by senior citizens. We are very interested in partnering with your organization to have your members volunteer with us to help these seniors, many of whom are suffering from dementia. Our virtual visit program matches 2-3 college students with residents of long-term care, assisted living, and memory care communities for virtual video visits. These seniors have been suffering from isolation, and your members could really brighten their days just by speaking with them. We provide training to the students in the program about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout their service. Since these visits are virtual, your members can do it without any travel. This is both convenient, and allows more of the volunteers’ time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to their volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have students from around the country as well. We would very much like to partner with you, and hope that your members would like to volunteer to help our seniors.
Typically, students volunteer one hour per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior’s attention span and mood on each day. We expect students to volunteer for approximately 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. The students are matched based on the times that they’re available, with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing for more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting us with our social media, call support, or outreach.
We provide our program year-round, and start new students every week. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about the program, or to look through our website, at https://conversationstoremember.org. Your members can register to volunteer by filling out a volunteer interest form on our website.

- iCHARM Lab Digicomm Survey Recruitment
Dear George Mason,
We hope you’re doing well! My name is Anne Diouf, and I’m a student at George Washington University and a research assistant in the iCHARM Lab at the George Washington School of Nursing. I’m reaching out regarding recruiting participants for our “Digital Health Communications in Cancer Prevention Among Minority Young Adults” study, under the direction of Dr. Daisy Le at the George Washington University (GWU) School of Nursing.
We are interested in learning about cancer prevention knowledge and behavior, as well as the usage of online platforms, social media, and mHealth for obtaining health and/or cancer-related information. We are looking for participants who:
-
Are a young adult between 18-40 years old,
-
Self-identify with an underrepresented racial/ethnic minority community
-
Can communicate in English, and
-
Are a current U.S. resident
Participants will complete an eligibility screening by visiting the link https://is.gd/digicomm. Once completed, a research team member will follow up via email and invite the participant to complete: a 15-minute online survey, for which they will receive a $5 Amazon e-gift card.
Please do share the below flier with your organization’s members – all information you share through the study will remain confidential, and the information you share will contribute to current public health knowledge about digital communication and health information, which may in turn inform future intervention programs using digital communication and social media aimed to improve health among minority young adults.
Thank you so much for your time, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you!
