Jewish Family Service

Volunteers are sought to improve the lives of individuals and families in need by taking an integrated approach to delivering comprehensive support services. The Boulder office helps clients maintain a high quality of life through programs and services that support, connect and engage them. Volunteers are needed for the Friendly Visitor, JFS Ambassadors and Para-chaplains programs.

• Friendly Visitor volunteers will be paired with an older adult for weekly visits to reduce social isolation. The one-on-one relationship is meaningful to both the client and the volunteer and can lead to lifelong friendship. Volunteers for this program are interviewed, trained and supported to ensure a good match.

• JFS Ambassadors volunteers are paired with an older adult living facility. Volunteers, who should enjoy coordinating small events while reaching out to those who may be socially isolated, will liaise between JFS and the facility staff to support Jewish holidays and add enriching cultural programs.

• Para-chaplains volunteers will help provide Jewish holiday celebrations at older adult living facilities and may also work one-on-one with unaffiliated Jews who are facing life challenges. Volunteers will be trained for this program.

Anyone interested in volunteering for any of these programs should contact Nicole Hosack at nhosack@jewishfamilyservice.org.
