Our Mission

DOROT’s mission is to enhance the lives of Jewish and other elderly in the greater New York metropolitan area through a dynamic partnership of volunteers, professionals, and elders; to foster mutually beneficial interaction between the generations; and to provide education, guidance, and leadership in developing volunteer-based programs for the elderly, nationally and internationally.

• provide social, cultural, religious, and educational activities to alleviate isolation and to bring the generations together;
• promote an ethic of volunteerism; and
• foster respect for human dignity among people of all ages in accordance with Jewish values.
