Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers Are The Heart of Alexander JFS

At Alexander Jewish Family Service, volunteers are essential partners in supporting our clients. By generously offering their time, energy, and expertise, they extend a helping hand to our staff, isolated seniors, and others in need within our community. Their contributions truly make a difference.

To uphold the privacy and dignity of those we serve, volunteers working directly with clients are required to:

Complete annual HIPAA training
Undergo a background screening

These measures ensure a safe and secure environment for our clients and reinforce the trust placed in our services.‍
