Who are Passover volunteers?
Passover Volunteers are caring, responsible, and non-judgmental, who wish to support their Community, and who treasure the special joy of helping others through personal contact.
What do Passover volunteers do?
Volunteers offer the kindness of a listening ear and a sensitive heart.
Volunteers interview applicants from 10 AM to 2:30 PM, Mondays through Thursdays at JBFCS facilities, community centers, and synagogues throughout the five boroughs of New York City.
We ask for a commitment of three days over a three week period from February 23- March 12, 2009.
Volunteers inquire about the applicants’ circumstances and enter the information on application forms. Where appropriate, volunteers refer clients to agencies in the social and mentalhealth services.
How will I know what to do?
Every volunteer must attend a two-hour training session in early February. At training, you learn about the program’s mission and how to fill out application forms and make referrals.At every location an experienced volunteer site coordinator is on hand to assist new volunteers.
How can I sign up?
