If you would like to share your knowledge of interesting family history/geneology - what's in a name?, cultural background, tracing your identity then we have a convenient way to do it! Via computer, the "Virtual Senior Center" engages homebound seniors to attend classes on many topics for one hour. The classes are small, interactive and available with a URL,& password which we supply and all conducted from your computer - so no travelling!
We're looking for people who would like to lead these interactive classes for our vital homebound seniors on a flexible schedule: day, evening or weekend weekly, alternate weeks or monthly.
If you're interested you will be able to see, hear and speak to the senior participants in your class!

Mission Statement
Selfhelp is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to maintaining the independence and dignity of seniors and at-risk populations through a spectrum of housing, home health care, and social services and will lead in applying new methods and technologies to address changing needs of its community. Selfhelp will continue to serve as the "last surviving relative" to its historic constituency, victims of Nazi persecution.
Description
Selfhelp is A private, non-sectarian, not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, Selfhelp was founded in 1936 by a small group of refugees fleeing persecution during the Holocaust. Our history is rich and varied because throughout it, we have continued to respond to anyone in need. Our mission has always been to help older adults live happy, independent lives in their own homes with services that help maintain their health and safety. Today, Selfhelp offers 20,000 aging, frail and "at-risk" New Yorkers a comprehensive network of social service, senior housing and home care services. It is also the oldest and largest provider of Nazi victim services in North America. For almost seven decades, Selfhelp has dedicated itself to being a source of information, service, community, and quality home care for New Yorkers.
