Volunteers 65+ are needed to share wisdom and friendship with local high school and middle school students looking for intergenerational connections during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We offer multiple opportunities to connect phone and Zoom with students, in small and large group settings.
Volunteers can:
Virtually visit a middle school classroom for fun, engaging games, discussions, and art activities.
Join DOROT's teen interns in teen-led discussion groups, book clubs, or collaborative art activities.
Sign up for a weekly chess match, led by a chess master from Chess NYC.
Take part in regular friendly phone or video-chat visits with individual or pairs of teens and tweens
Join us! Programs begin in February and run through May.
Sign up for a DOROT volunteer orientation session to learn more about how you can get involved.
DOROT alleviates social isolation among the elderly and provides services to help them live independently as valued members of the community. We serve the Jewish and wider community, bringing the generations together in a mutually beneficial partnership of elders, volunteers and professionals. Our work provides an effective model for others.
