We are always happy to find people who are passionate about our mission to connect volunteers of all backgrounds and faiths with older adults for friendship and assistance.

Who We Are

Careers

Working together toward our shared mission— to reduce elder isolation—staff members describe FriendshipWorks as a place where people care about one another and the older adults living in and around Boston. If this sounds like it could be the right atmosphere for you, and you want to put your skills and experience to work, please contact us!

We want to hear from you:

  • If you enjoy bringing people together to reduce isolation and build community; 
  • If making difference for the positive in two people’s lives (a volunteer and their older adult match) motivates you;
  • If you like building community, partnerships, and connections;
  • If the idea of working in Boston’s neighborhoods and the surrounding areas of Brookline, Newton, Cambridge, and Somerville motivate you;
  • If you align with our values and working with a great, dedicated team excites you…

FriendshipWorks strives to reflect our values of Connectedness, Joy & Comfort, Mutuality, Curiosity, Trust, Empathy, and Collaboration. Read more...

We foster connections with a commitment to creating a safe place for all people regardless of age, race, religion, ability/disability, economic class, sexual orientation, or gender expression. Read our Equity Statement here.

Join our team as we work to meet the ever-increasing needs of Greater Boston’s older adults. Please review the open positions below and directions to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
