Campaign
National Days of Jewish Service
Join Us in Activating Jewish Communities Through Service
This spring, thousands of volunteers across the country will show up in meaningful ways through hundreds of service programs addressing food access, supporting immigrants, racial equity, and environmental care. Passover is a time to ask how we can strengthen one another and meet the urgent needs of our communities. NDJS is how we turn that question into action and make a real difference.
Repair the World’s National Days of Jewish Service (NDJS) offers three annual service activations centered around key moments throughout the year — providing the framework, funding, and tools to inspire meaningful experiences that strengthen local communities and unite the global Jewish community. Our goal: 10,000 volunteers showing up across three activations.
Funding Opportunity:
Repair the World is offering two ways to support meaningful Jewish service.
- For Jewish organizations: Microgrants of up to $1,000 per program.
- For individuals: A $150 volunteer stipend to lead peers in service as a Michael Kay Jewish Service Ambassador.
Ready to Show Up This Spring?
Every year at Passover, we retell the story of what it means to be freed. And every year, that story asks something of us. This April, thousands of volunteers are answering – through service rooted in Jewish values and making a real difference in their communities by addressing urgent needs around food access, supporting immigrants, racial equity, and environmental care. All month long, hundreds of programs are running across the country.
