Since 1972, Search and Care’s mission is to help older adults on the Upper East – and now Upper West – Side to remain in their homes and community with Care Management and complementary fee-free services that address health, mental wellness and financial stability.

Our intergenerational multicultural volunteer team can always benefit from fully vaccinated folks ages 16 and up who can commit to a minimum of six months as:

• technology coach (in home and/or virtual) on helping acquaint the older user with a computer, tablet or cell phone use;

• shopper/errands (for clients who cannot get out to shop and do not have home attendants);

• friendly visitors to truly make someone’s day cheerier just by showing up when you promised;

• pet upkeep if you are an experienced dog walker or cat owner;

• office phone reception;

We also have need for Medical Escorts, for which you are paid (not a volunteer) by the hour to help a client to/from vital healthcare appointments.

Please call Robin Strashun, Volunteer Coordinator, at 212-289-5300 X203 or strashun@searchandcare.org.
