dorot friendly visiting

Looking to match with a new friend? Why not try a match that lets you give back? Volunteer with DOROT and experience just how rewarding it can be.

DOROT is an organization that carefully matches volunteers like you with seniors looking for friendly visitors. Let us find the right volunteer opportunity for you.

Since 1976, DOROT has been working with volunteers to help older adults stay connected to their Upper West Side community. By making a commitment to volunteer as a friendly visitor, you can make a difference.

The process works like this: we carefully assess seniors to make sure they are up for visits. Then, we match volunteers with seniors based on shared interests, location, and any preferences individuals might have. We try to match people who will end up becoming friends, and the relationships that develop often last for years.

We know it’s a big commitment, but it can mean so much. To learn more about the many different ways you can volunteer to help an older neighbor, please visit our website: dorotusa.org.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility.
