Hear from our Getting Started Volunteer, John, on why he enjoys volunteering with Age Action.
“My last student was a wonderful woman in her late 80s. She had just lost her husband and hadn't left her house in months. The lessons were a chance for her to connect with the world again. I taught her how to use Google, and we looked up the town she grew up in and some of her family history. Her eyes lit up when she saw the capabilities of the internet.
I volunteer with Age Action because we are all getting older. I like interacting with older people, I get joy out of it, seeing that age is just a number and that they are interested in learning. It’s the perfect act of kindness and community because one day we’ll need help ourselves."
