Throughout the year, DOROT welcomes approximately 100 high school students to participate in our teen internship programs, where their community service is both valuable and needed. Interns receive training and supervision and volunteer in small groups to connect and help older New Yorkers. Through a variety of hands-on experiences in the community and onsite at DOROT, interns develop leadership skills and provide meaningful social connections with older adults.


High School Interns may:
-Visit clients in their home for companionship
-Coach clients to use computer, iPads and other types of technology
-Play chess, cards, scrabble, and other games with clients
-Deliver birthday cakes
-Participate and lead a weekly intergenerational discussion group of current issues


Winter/Spring Session: February 4 - May 23


Time Commitment: one day a week (Monday - Thursday) for two hours, ending no later than 6 p.m.

To apply, please visit DOROT’s website at www.dorotusa.org and complete an online application form for the Teen Internship Program.
