Volunteers are at the heart of our tradition. Join over 2,000 volunteers in our 18 hands-on programs across New York City and in Westchester. Also, let us know if you would like to join our leadership development activities.
Volunteers range from college students to retirees.
As a volunteer, your efforts greatly enhance the effectiveness of the mental health and social service programs offered by the Jewish Board, while helping to improve the quality of life for New Yorkers. Volunteers provide a link to the outside world for people with AIDS who are often isolated and alone. They help PWAs in a variety of ways, including shopping, light cooking, running errands, or answering mail. Most importantly they are there to listen and care. This program matches specially, screened, trained and supervised Big Brothers and Big Sisters with children in families affected by AIDS and renders respite to the parents.
