Mitzvah Days
Several times a year, JFS arranges special projects to help seniors, low-income families or people with disabilities. If you'd like to participate in yard clean-up, house-painting or help with other chores for a day, let us know.
From time to time, JFS needs a volunteer to support to a client undergoing transition or family stress. Volunteers might help a client move, offer a listening ear or lend a hand with a small fix-it chore. Sign up to be on our on-call list.
Mom2Mom Project
Volunteer peer mentors needed for Mom2Mom! The Mom2Mom project holds periodic trainings for mothers who would like to support other moms. Mentors support mothers of new babies by providing a supportive presence, sharing information, and helping connect moms to community resources. All mentors receive 8 hours of training by local experts in motherhood, infant mental health, attachment, and post partum depression. Mentors typically meet with their mother twice a month for 3-4 months, and also attend a once a month group meeting. Mom2Mom is a joint project between Jewish Family Service and the Stroum Jewish Community Center.
Childcare and Camp Counselor Volunteer Positions
Throughout the year our Family Life Education program hosts special events, meetings and family-centered programming during which we need child care or volunteers with experience as camp counselors. If you enjoy spending time with children and have some experience in this area, sign up on our list. Events are usually evenings and Sundays.
Companions for Adults with Disabilities
Adults with developmental disabilities and mental illness who participate in the SAJD's Supported Living Program or who live at Shalom House, our residential group home, greatly enjoy and appreciate the company of volunteers. Visit them in their homes, help out with holiday baking or crafts projects, and go on outings. You'll expand their world, and yours!
