Looking for a meaningful internship this summer? DOROT is pleased to partner with the Riverdale Y to bring our Jewish Summer Teen Internship Program to the Bronx. As an intern, you’ll have the extraordinary opportunity to learn how to facilitate intergenerational programs as you connect with and learn from other high school students and older adults from the Riverdale Y Senior Center.
We are monitoring COVID safety recommendations and making plans for in-person programming in Summer 2022. The internship will be a hybrid; two to three days a week in-person and one or two days will be virtual. Interns will need to travel to their internship location.
Applications are now open for Summer 2022!
