Social programs encourage you to make contributions to your environment and community. We offer the opportunity to make new friends or volunteer within Moravian Village and within the community of Bethlehem.

Other residents find it rewarding to tutor at-risk students in reading, serve as Girl Scout leaders, or participate in special events such as the “Great American Bake Sale” to help hungry children.
