DOROT Westchester is a social services organization committed to addressing social isolation among older adults while fostering intergenerational connections within the Westchester community. As an extension of the well-established DOROT in New York City, the Westchester branch offers an array of culturally sensitive, volunteer-based programs tailored to enhance the lives of seniors. Its mission centers on promotion of social connections, dignity, and purposeful aging through high-quality, innovative services.

One standout feature of DOROT Westchester is its Intergenerational Programs, which bring together youth volunteers and older adults through meaningful engagements, such as tech assistance, conversation visits, and holiday events. The organization also provides essential supportive services, including wellness programming, food deliveries around holiday times, and caregiver support. Its culturally diverse programming reflects the varied populations it serves, with events and workshops that emphasize Jewish values while remaining inclusive.

DOROT Westchester relies on a strong network of dedicated volunteers and community partners to deliver personalized services that support aging in place.
