Volunteering with the elderly: a life-changing commitment
In Québec, more than 1 in 5 elderly persons live without support from family or loved ones. Since 1962, Little Brothers has been committed to bringing as many elderly people out of isolation as possible every year. Our impact would not be the same without the participation of thousands of volunteers across the province who embrace our cause. Thanks to their involvement, we are multiplying our initiatives to alleviate loneliness and break isolation every day.

Together, let’s create a community where no one grows old alone.
Reaching out and offering your time to people who may no longer have anyone in their lives makes them feel listened to and appreciated. It’s about sharing your presence, a smile, a conversation, and bringing a little brightness into days that can be very lonely. Every get-together counts and contributes to the creation of a real bond, for both the elderly person and the volunteer.
