What is Chat Pals?

Chat Pals is a phone or video-based (Facetime or Zoom) program designed to provide:

  • Connection to community
  • Emotional support
  • Companionship
  • Improved mental and physical well-being

How Chat Pals works

Participants and volunteers are matched based on like-minded interests and experiences, so a friendship can be formed remotely.

Participants receive a call from a background-checked volunteer on a weekly basis.
