Volunteer with our Chaplaincy Program
The para-chaplain program strengthens the connection between Jewish residents living in non-Jewish senior residential facilities and the Jewish community by arranging and leading religious services for Shabbat, High Holy Days, Hannukah, and Passover. In addition, para-chaplains work with the staff at these facilities to sensitize them about the values, traditions, and holidays of Jewish residents.
Para-Chaplain
Commitment: Once a week or every other, or as arranged with the facility and the client. Visits may be during the week or weekend. Evenings are usually not a good time to visit older adults. A commitment of at least six months preferred.
Additional Requirements: Background check, driver’s license, proof of auto insurance and proof of first two Covid vaccinations. Ages 21 and older.
