Older Adults Help in Many Ways in Teaneck Schools

Reading buddies. Math tutors. Lunch monitors. After-school club leaders. Clerical assistants. Teaneck Public Schools are seeking community volunteers to serve in a variety of roles, as part of a new vision the district is calling “The Teaneck Advantage.”  
“This 'advantage' includes all of our community volunteers who are so giving of their time, talent and treasure to help support the educational and emotional growth of our students,” said Terry Corallo, director of community relations and chief of staff. “Our in- school volunteers are placed based on how they want to help work with our students or schools; and we welcome the Age-Friendly community to join us in this effort."

Volunteers may participate on a regular basis or a few times a year, depending on their interest and schedule. Those interested must attend a training session and undergo a criminal background check, the cost of which is reimbursed by the school district.

​For more information or to apply, please call Ms. Corallo at 201-833-5498

    Who We Are

    ​     Age-Friendly Teaneck formed in 2016 with this mission in mind: A great place to grow up should be a great place to grow old.
         Our network of supporters includes some of Teaneck’s most-active government, business and civic leaders. 
         The project is directed by Elizabeth Davis, a licensed clinical social worker who founded Geriatric Services, Inc., a non-profit with oversight over two of Teaneck’s affordable living options for seniors -  Bright Side Manor assisted living residence and the Brookdale, a 64-unit affordable senior housing building.
         Project Coordinator Jacqueline Kates is a former mayor and township council member who recently retired as community relations coordinator at Holy Name Medical Center. 
        A diverse group of township leaders and residents sit on our steering committee and five task forces, together working toward the common goal of better serving the needs of township residents of all ages.
