Our volunteers are the agents of change in every program DOROT offers. Older adults and others across the generations make the difference, when they choose from a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. During COVID-19, volunteers are lending a hand with office support over the phone and online, knitting for older adults in need, greeting participants in Zoom and phone classes and engaging in intergenerational programs.
