Friendly Visitors for Older Adults

DOROT Westchester provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to visit with older adults in the Westchester community to enrich each other's lives through meaningful social connection. Volunteers are matched by their shared interests and availability, and they can devote an hour on a weekly or monthly basis to providing companionship at the older adult's home. Social workers will provide ongoing support to all volunteers.

Volunteer requirements:

• Must be 21+
• Must complete an orientation and background check, as well as provide references
• Must commit to one year to building a relationship with an older adult

Express interest below to alert the volunteer coordinator of your interest and to make a positive connection with a local neighbor!

DOROT alleviates social isolation among older adults and provides services to help them live independently as valued members of the community. It serves the Jewish and wider community, bringing the generations together in a mutually beneficial partnership of older adults, volunteers, and professionals.
