DOROT

Teen interns have arrived! Help us give a warm welcome to this year's participants in the Anita K. Hersh Jewish Summer Teen Internship Program 😊👋

Over the next month, they'll become part of the DOROT community, building connections with older adults and one another through theater workshops, discussion groups, board games, museum visits, and so much more.

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks as we share highlights from their summer adventures 🏙️

Happy Pride from DOROT! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Summer officially starts this month, and you know what that means… we’re welcoming a new cohort of college interns to the halls of DOROT!

This group of eager, thoughtful, and enthusiastic students will spend the summer supporting work across the organization—from facilitating intergenerational programs to contributing to impact and evaluation, marketing, and helping in countless other ways to bring our programs for older adults to life.

Keep an eye out over the next few months to hear more from them as we spotlight their work and experiences throughout the summer.
