Know a teen who would benefit from some exposure to the world of healthcare?? Volunteering is great for skill-building and an excellent opportunity to gain experience in the healthcare industry.

Summer is a great time to volunteer at Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation. As a participant in our Summer Teen Program, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Develop relationships with residents, staff, and fellow peers in a supportive learning environment.
  • Participate in recreation and individual activities with our residents.
  • Develop leadership and communication skills.
  • Touch the lives of the 460 residents who call Gurwin home.

Our beautiful facility located in Commack provides a stimulating environment for our residents and rehabilitation patients. The center is bustling with activity and provides a great learning opportunity for those interested in pursuing a career in health services.
