Join DOROT"s Response Team to visit seniors in their homes in Manhattan to address their needs and socialize. This unique volunteer opportunity allows you to volunteer on your own schedule.
As part of the Response Team, you will get a weekly e-mail with lists of different volunteer opportunities to visit seniors. Options typically include making a birthday visit (cake and gifts provided by DOROT), playing cards, reading aloud, practicing a foreign language and going for a walk or out for coffee. Select the visits that fit your interests and schedule. Meet seniors from different backgrounds and share companionship.
The first step for interested volunteers is to attend an orientation. Please visit www.dorotusa.org to sign up.
