Program Coordinator, Aging Alone Together

LOCATION DOROT is headquartered on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and the team works on a hybrid schedule. The Program Coordinator, Aging Alone Together, will be expected to work in the office a minimum of two (2) days a week.

Founded in 1976, DOROT (“generations” in Hebrew) facilitates a dynamic partnership between older adults, volunteers, and professionals through programs designed to combat social isolation and loneliness and bring the generations together. DOROT is dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults to help them live more independently as valued community members. Compassion and commitment to excellence are hallmarks of DOROT’s programs and staff.

The agency is a recognized innovative leader in mobilizing volunteers and infusing social work into its service delivery model. Our programs are conducted onsite, in the home, remotely and in the community.

Aging Alone Together is DOROT’s flagship program for adults age 60+ who identify as solo agers, individuals who by choice or circumstance expect to age or make decisions about their future independently. This six-week workshop series provides solo agers with the tools, strategies, and support to age successfully and build social connections. The curriculum involves topic-specific presentations, coaching, and guidance on critical decision-making, along with conversation, personalized check‑ins, and assignments.

Alumni gatherings, programs on related medical, legal, and housing issues, and formal and informal social support and networks extend learning and community building opportunities. Aging Alone Together is a program within DOROT’s Onsite and Special Program Department.
