Why Volunteer at SJFS?
Syracuse Jewish Family Service (SJFS) is a not-for-profit human service agency that is dedicated to helping individuals and families in the Jewish and general communities of Central New York maximize their self-determination, realize their potential and live with dignity.
As a SJFS volunteer, you will work alongside a passionate and dedicated team who truly care about the people we work with. You would be a valued member of our team of staff and interns, with many opportunities or growth and varied experiences. We have a variety of volunteer experiences available to those looking for rewarding and fun volunteer opportunities.
Ways to Volunteer:
Depending on what you would like to get out of our volunteer experience, we have a task for you! Here are a few examples of the experience possible with our agency:
• Friendly visiting with nursing home residents
• Delivering/ organizing meals with Kosher Meals on Wheels
• Learning about dementia and partnering with an artist in our Opening Minds through Art program
These volunteer opportunites can be done as an individual, group, or service learning experience as well as community service.
