Building one-to-one relationships across social divides
Join Our Monthly Newsletter
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.
Our next orientation is on Saturday, January 24th, 2026 from 10:15AM - 12:15PM in Midtown Manhattan at 109 East 31st Street. We recognize that our next session is far away. Email info@doforone.org if you would like to get involved or get in touch with us sooner than that.
Note: The info session is geared towards potential volunteers who do not have immediate plans to move out of the NYC area. If you are a person with a disability interested in learning more about our relationship building program, email info@doforone.org so we can set up a personal phone call with you.
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.
We tackle the root issue of social exclusion, believing that everyone has something valuable to contribute to one another and to our communities.
