Seniors in nursing facilities tend to have few visitors, but with a few hours of your time, you can provide the social interaction that is important to keeping their spirits soaring. There are a variety of projects with seniors such as knitting, gardening, and even teaching basic computer skills. Just a few hours of your time can help brighten up a senior’s week.

After that, you can choose from hundreds of flexibly scheduled volunteer projects every month. Learn more about volunteering with New York Cares at www.newyorkcares.org.
