Bringing isolated people into greater community life
Sign up for our monthly newsletter to stay up to date with us!New York City is home to over 900,000 people affected by disability.
Lack of accessible transportation and affordable housing, unequal education, and unemployment are only some of the common issues people with disabilities face.
COVID has not only created new problems but it has exposed and exacerbated problems that have long existed.
We address the underlying problem of social exclusion. And believe that we all have something to offer each other and our communities.
Our Mission
Do For One is a relationship-building program that brings isolated people into greater community life. We selectively match one person with disabilities (‘Partner’) with another person who enjoys a more socially included life (‘Advocate’).
Get Involved
Advocates enter a person’s life to respond to that person's needs and interests through an authentic and freely given relationship. Advocates will choose, along with their partner, the personal investments, contents, and direction of the relationship.
We recognize that our next orientation session is far away on September 30th, 2024. If you wish to get involved with Do For One sooner, please email info@doforone.org and a staff will be in touch with you shortly.
Our Leadership
Do For One is led by a diverse group of leaders committed to our mission, values, and vision.
