Who this is for: all volunteers welcome! This program will be geared toward current JFS volunteers and potential volunteers.

What you'll learn:

  • How current and interested volunteers time and efforts are extremely important and impactful, especially as they go into winter
  • How to identify isolation vs. loneliness and how we can connect clients to the resources they need through JFS

JFS Volunteer Opportunities:

  • Calling Connections
  • Zoom/virtual check-ins/calling with older adults who are practicing using new devices through the JFS Tech Connect Program
  • JET driving (with extra COVID-19 safety measures)
