In a world where social connections -- so vital to the health and well-being of older adults -- are often difficult to come by, DOROT brings the generations together to form meaningful friendships through programs and services that benefit everyone. We are always looking for passionate and committed non-profit social work, program, and other professionals interested in working with older adults to join our team in a variety of positions. Based in New York City, DOROT has been a leading provider of social services to older adults for 45 years. To achieve its mission of alleviating social isolation among older adults, DOROT’s staff and trained volunteers ensure that older adults throughout Manhattan and Westchester are socially connected, engaged and aging well in their own homes. DOROT serves more than 6,200 older adults. During COVID, DOROT’s virtual programming became a source of inspiration and virtual connection for seniors throughout the U.S. Many of DOROT’s programs are fueled by volunteers – more than 6,000 of all ages are engaged annually to make in-home social visits, deliver care packages, enjoy friendly phone conversations on a weekly basis, play online chess, provide tech coaching, participate in intergenerational discussions and so much more. You can be a part of a vibrant workplace of nearly 100 professional staff of social workers, program directors and coordinators and other non-profit administrators who welcome diverse perspectives, talents and contributions. We welcome your interest in any of the positions posted on LinkedIn.
