.

Founded in 1976, DOROT (“generations” in Hebrew) facilitates a dynamic partnership between older adults, volunteers, and professionals through programs designed to combat social isolation and loneliness and bring the generations together. DOROT is dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults in the Jewish and wider community to help them live more independently as valued community members. Compassion and a commitment to excellence are hallmarks of DOROT’s programs and staff.

The agency is a recognized innovative leader in mobilizing volunteers and infusing social work into its service delivery model. Our vast offerings of programs are conducted onsite, in the home, remotely and in the community.

DOROT serves clients on the Upper West Side from 59th to 125th Street, and on the East Side from 14th to 96th Street. DOROT also has a variety of services for older adults in Westchester County.

DOROT's mission is to address social isolation among older adults. We are currently looking for Tech Volunteers. There are opportunities to help in person in Manhattan and onsite h volunteers help DOROT older adults learn how to use devices including smartphones, tablets and laptops and basic applications. The minimum time commitment is 1 hour per week for 3 months and DOROT provides all training needed.

We are also looking for facilitators that have a stronger background in Tech who can lead group sessions on Zoom on a particular area of focus.
