WHAT: Each school year DOROT welcomes high school students to receive high-quality training and leadership development while volunteering in small virtual groups. This is a unique opportunity for ongoing community service that meaningfully connects teens with older adults one afternoon per week through friendly phone calls, intergenerational workshops, and creative arts programming. Teen interns and older adults come together each week for a series of meaningful intergenerational conversations. This group provides a structure for all participants to exchange ideas, opinions, and personal stories to learn from one another and create connections. Each week the group selects the topic. Teens then work together in pairs to plan the session, and lead each weekly discussion with support from DOROT staff.
