YOU can make a tremendous difference in the lives of needy individuals by sharing your compassion and expertise. All volunteers receive ongoing supervision and training to assist them in their efforts.

JFS Volunteer Opportunities:

Roles for volunteers continue to develop as the agency expands its services. Whether it is for time-limited or on-going projects, JFS volunteers assist in many rewarding ways:

• Friend Advocate (Essex County) - supervised assistance with bill paying, reading mail and completing application/insurance forms for older adults. This program is sponsored by the Essex County Division of Senior Services.
• Listen to Children (Livingston) - matches an older adult volunteer with a public school student in need of extra support.
• Domestic Violence Volunteer Opportunities: specialized opportunities are available to provide support to victims of domestic violence.  Training is required.  For additional information contact the Rachel Coalition at (973)765-9050.
