Meet Sharon Johnson. Sharon is a Connectedly Volunteer Facilitator. Sharon is a natural leader and LOVES to help wherever and whenever she can. In addition to facilitating a group at Connectedly, she also volunteers at the Salvation Army and leads many activities at Booth Manor. When asked why she is so involved in her community and what inspires her, she says, “The more I can do for someone else, the better I feel about myself. I just want people to be happy.”
Be like Sharon and volunteer to facilitate a peer support group for older adults. Groups are ongoing and meet in senior housing buildings, community centers, and other neighborhood locations throughout Philadelphia. Group Facilitators engage older adults in meaningful discussions on a regular basis and share in the power of community support. The minimum time commitment is two hours per session, twice monthly. Group Facilitators will receive training from Connectedly staff and ongoing leadership mentoring.
