Coordinate a Travelogue Speaker's Program for Jewish Community Housing Residents

Develop and implement a speaker's series focused on "travel around the world" for elderly residents of Warrensville Center Apartments and Cedar Center Apartments. Many of these residents are low-income, homebound older adults who will never have an opportunity to travel. Not only will this once a month series brighten their day, it will also encourage them to engage with other residents in the activity room of their building. This is a long-term mitzvah opportunity. Hours are flexible and organizational work can be done from home. Contact Susan Hyman, 216.593.2900, ext. 142 or shyman@jcfcleve.org.
