Will Schwartz

he/him

City Director, Boston

Will is thrilled to join Repair the World as the Boston City Director, bringing with him nearly 15 years of experience as a Boston area high school math teacher, teacher-leader, and union organizer. As a public school educator, Will centered equity in his classroom, working to empower students, especially those with disabilities, to see themselves as math learners. In his leadership roles, he helped develop and implement strategic plans for a variety of initiatives leveraging relationship building and shared meaning to navigate difficult conversations. Will also brings with him experience as a Jewish educator and leader. He teaches 6th and 7th grade Sunday School at Humanistic Congregation Kahal B’raira, where his students explore Jewish rituals and values through hands-on learning and collaborative text-based inquiry. Previously, he also served as finance chair of Kavod Boston, a lay-led community of young adults committed to vibrant Jewish ritual and transformative social justice organizing. Will is excited to make this part of his everyday work as he furthers Repair the World’s mission of integrating service work, justice, and Jewish learning. Will is a proud member of Temple Beth Zion in Brookline, where he sings with the Mehalelim for their Shabbat Nariya service. When not singing at TBZ, you’ll find him hosting Shabbat dinners with his partner, reading fantasy novels, or finding joy in the outdoors—from hiking in the White Mountains to biking along the Minuteman Trail.

Nevia Selmon is a Senior Associate at Repair the World in Boston, where she is excited to deepen relationships, build intentional partnerships, and engage young Jewish professionals in service-rooted community. She is passionate about creating spaces where Jewish life, learning, and service intersect.
Nevia brings a background in Jewish ethics, pluralism, and civic engagement to her work. She earned her Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, concentrating in Jewish Studies, religious pluralism, and religion in public life. During her time at Harvard, she helped lead intra-Jewish and interfaith dialogue initiatives, organized service and learning programs across campuses, and supported community repair during moments of deep division.

In this role, she supported research, communications, and strategy projects for national partners, managed complex qualitative research, and helped shape narrative and partnership strategies for organizations engaged in bridging divides and strengthening civic life.

Previously, Nevia worked as a Research Assistant with Harvard’s Pluralism Project and as a Graduate Intern with the U.S. Department of Education’s Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, supporting policy and partnership work focused on inclusive civic engagement. She has also facilitated dialogue and learning for young professionals with Israel Policy Forum Atid and volunteered in multifaith service spaces across the Boston area.
Nevia is especially excited about Repair’s approach to pairing Torah with service and building alternative spaces where people can be in community while serving community. Outside of work, she enjoys finding local hikes, exploring quaint coffee shops, and discovering meaningful moments of connection.
