DOROT alleviates social isolation among the elderly and provides services to help them live independently as valued members of the community.  Teen interns provide direct services to DOROT’s elders.  Through ongoing training, interns learn about the challenges of aging through workshops and field-based experiences.  As they provide services and befriend the frail elderly, they help alleviate loneliness and isolation.

DOROT’s Summer Teen Internship Program offers two four-week sessions for high school students entering 10th grade through gradating seniors  through a competitive process, up to 18 interns are selected for each session. Summer interns are expected to volunteer with DOROT during the academic high school year.
