New York Summer Teen Service Corps 2025
Join Repair the World’s Summer Teen Service Corps—a 3 or 6 week Jewish service-learning program tailored for rising 9th through 12th graders in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Immerse yourself in a community of passionate teens committed to strengthening our community. Delve into Jewish learning about justice in New York City, volunteer at local non-profits, and explore connections between Jewish identity and service.
Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action and pursue a just world. Teens of any or no faith are welcome to apply for and participate in the Teen Service Corps.
Learn, Explore, and Serve This Summer
This year, the Teen Service Corps will focus on the theme of nourishing our community by exploring food access and justice work in New York City. Together, we’ll learn about the challenges and solutions related to food justice while also reflecting on our own identities at the intersection of privilege and oppression.
By joining the Teen Service Corps, you receive:
- 45+ community service hours
- Strong relationships with local service organizations focused on food justice
- Engaging speakers and field trips (transportation cost included!)
- A close-knit community of teens from across NYC
- An overnight orientation to build community and deepen learning
- Leadership opportunities for program alumni
….and more!

COST
Fee per 3-week session: $550 – $950 sliding scale
We use a sliding scale for our program in order to create opportunities for all teens to participate in the Teen Service Corps. We ask that each family reflect on what program cost feels equitable to them.
We do not want cost to be a barrier to participation and we are committed to working with each family to make this program accessible. We have scholarship opportunities for a select number of teens. Please reach out to us at [email protected] for further assistance or questions.
