If you wait to come by, it?ll be much more crowded and you will probably need to wait in line.
I don?t want you to have to wait in line?really.

Poke your head in and if I?m with someone, waive at me to let me know you?re here and then wait on the purple couch out in the lobby. My office hours: 8:30-12 and 1:30-4?? No Appointment Needed.

STILES HALL ELDERLY COMPANIONSHIP PROGRAM
Take a step to make a difference in the community!

Join Stiles Hall?s Elderly Companionship Program and help bridge the generation gap by learning and growing with an elderly companion! Stiles Hall has played a significant role in the Berkeley community for the past 127 years by providing opportunities and a space for making an impact. During the Free Speech Movement, Stiles Hall provided a space for dialogue with community members, students, and civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. The Elderly Companionship Program pairs volunteers with an elderly companion from the Over 60 Clinc?a center providing social services for individuals who have limited income and are facing barriers to a healthy and positive environment. As an elderly companion, you will be able to meet once a week on your own flexible schedule and help provide a caring and supportive environment.

Highlight your week (and someone?s in the community) by being an elderly companion! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Crystal at crystal.sitt@gmail.com. To apply for the program or find out more about what Stiles Hall offers, visit http://www.stileshall.org/.
