DOROT is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to alleviate social isolation and provide concrete services to older adults. For more than four decades, DOROT has been an innovative leader in the fields of aging services and volunteerism. DOROT’s diverse set of programs, as well as our focus on providing intergenerational connections to seniors, has ensured that DOROT’s clients have access to the resources they need to age with dignity, independence, and grace.

 

School Year Internships: Teen interns commit one afternoon a week to visit seniors in their homes, provide tech help, deliver meals, celebrate birthdays, and much more. Volunteer with a diverse group of socially-conscious high school students to connect with older New Yorkers.

 

Intergenerational Chess: Mondays at 4:00 PM are a chance to share experiences and provide companionship to seniors across a chessboard. Learn and teach with the help of a chess master while creating relationships with older New Yorkers.
