Jewish Family Service is 
looking for individuals inter-
ested in volunteering their time 
in several ways. iPad volunteers 
will be matched with a JFS cli-
ent once a week for one hour 
for 8-10 weeks. The volunteer 
will teach basic iPad skills and 
increase older adults’ techno-
logical knowledge for them 
to better communicate with 
family and friends to decrease 
feelings of isolation. 
Next, Friendly Visiting 
Volunteers are matched with a 
homebound older adult client 
of JFS who is seeking compan-
ionship and support. Visits can 
be done in the home or vol-
unteers can choose to take the 

client out for lunch, grocery 
shopping or other activities. 
This is a once-a-week com-
mitment for one hour (or two 
to four hours for volunteers 
taking clients out in the com-
munity). 
Lastly, JFS, in partner-
ship with Jewish Hospice and 
Chaplaincy Network, is seeking 
volunteers to provide comfort 
and companionship to chron-
ically and terminally ill indi-
viduals and their families. No 
experience is necessary as 
training will be provided 
prior to matching. If you are 
interested in learning more 
about these opportunities, 
contact Jewish Family Service’s 
Volunteer Coordinator Alyah 
Al-Azem at alyah@jfsdetroit.
