You can make a difference in the life of a homebound senior! At the Carter Burden Center for the Aging, our new program--The Virtual Senior Center--allows you to facilitate an interactive class based on your interest. If you like Art or Zoology, we want you to volunteer. With a time commitment of only 45 minutes to an hour a week OR month, you can easily make a difference. All you will need is a webcam enabled computer to facilitate a class. Our intent is to reduce social isolation in the lives of seniors and need your help to do so.
For more information on the Virtual Senior Center and facilitating a class, contact Velda Murad at muradv@carterburdencenter.org

Mission Statement
The Carter Burden Network promotes the well-being of seniors 60 and older through a continuum of services, advocacy, arts and culture, health and wellness and volunteer programs, all oriented to individual, family and community needs. We are dedicated to supporting the efforts of older people to live safely and with dignity.
Description
The Carter Burden Network was established in 1971, by New York City Council Member Carter Burden. He represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and founded the Center to assist the neighborhood's large number of older residents who were poor, in declining health and isolated.
The Carter Burden Network has grown into an agency with 12 programs in 7 locations and more than 100 employees. Now we serve approximately 5,000 seniors every year across the borough of Manhattan. It is a network of centers, programs and services that work together with government, corporate, individual and community partners to lead the way in aging services in New York City.
CBN offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to meet your interests. No matter your age, experience or schedule, CBN can accommodate your needs to ensure that you have a meaningful and effective volunteer experience. Opportunities can range from a one-time service day to a long-term volunteer commitment. We welcome individual, community and corporate groups to volunteer with us!
