Recruiting Organization: Lenox Hill Neighborhood House

Lenox Hill Neighborhood House is a 127-year-old settlement house widely recognized as one of New York's premier human services providers. Founded in 1894 as a free kindergarten for immigrant children, the Neighborhood House now serves 16,000 in need each year through a wide array of effective and integrated services--social, educational, legal, health, housing, mental health, nutritional and fitness.

We are seeking Technology Instructors to provide weekly, vital one-on-one technology assistance to our older adult clients. Common support issues include how to effectively use cell phone, tablet and computer functions, using email, texting and word processing efficiently and organizing & managing digital files. The time commitment is one weekday per week from either 10:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-3:00pm. Volunteering is done in person at one of our Senior Centers, East 54th or East 70th Street in Manhattan and adheres to all appropriate safety protocols including either proof of vaccination or weekly Covid-19 testing for volunteers.

This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults by increasing their comfort level with and knowledge of technology, thereby giving them the skills and confidence to manage information and more fully engage with family and friends.

If this opportunity is of interest to you, please contact Anthony Snowden, Volunteer Director at asnowden@lenoxhill.org or 212-218-0487.
