Join us in creating a warm and welcoming environment for Holocaust survivors through our upcoming Coffee House social events. This is also a great opportunity for a club or corporate group (up to 12 volunteers).
We have one scheduled for Wednesday, November 6th 12 - 2 pm in Roslyn Heights, LI.
Volunteers help create a space where survivors can share their stories, connect with others, and enjoy a sense of community. They assist by greeting survivors, serving refreshments, and engaging in friendly conversation and empathetic listening. The overall goal is to help ensure a positive experience for participants.
Volunteers should be friendly, patient, and have genuine interest in suporting Holocaust surivvors and learning about their experiences. Fluency in English; knowledge of additional languages like Yiddish, German or Russian a plus.
Please contact the Volunteer Manager for more information: tgough@selfhelp.net

Mission Statement
Selfhelp is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to maintaining the independence and dignity of seniors and at-risk populations through a spectrum of housing, home health care, and social services and will lead in applying new methods and technologies to address changing needs of its community. Selfhelp will continue to serve as the "last surviving relative" to its historic constituency, victims of Nazi persecution.
Description
Selfhelp is A private, non-sectarian, not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, Selfhelp was founded in 1936 by a small group of refugees fleeing persecution during the Holocaust. Our history is rich and varied because throughout it, we have continued to respond to anyone in need. Our mission has always been to help older adults live happy, independent lives in their own homes with services that help maintain their health and safety. Today, Selfhelp offers 20,000 aging, frail and "at-risk" New Yorkers a comprehensive network of social service, senior housing and home care services. It is also the oldest and largest provider of Nazi victim services in North America. For almost seven decades, Selfhelp has dedicated itself to being a source of information, service, community, and quality home care for New Yorkers.
