Our Impact
Repair the World’s Jewish service movement mobilizes Jews and their communities to serve at the intersection of Jewish values and social change.
Service and learning grounded in Jewish values are more critical than ever to meet pressing local needs, provide capacity for nonprofits, and build thriving communities across the country. Our Jewish communities have an imperative to show up boldly and live out our values alongside our neighbors through service.
Our Approach to Service
We believe service in support of social change is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and inspired Jewish life. Through service paired with Jewish learning and issue-area education, we educate volunteers about systemic injustice and ignite a long-term commitment to service rooted in Jewish values.

Volunteers aren't doing service and leaving. That is among the most impactful parts of the program. We are thinking about service more holistically.

Program Evaluation
Each year we conduct an in depth impact study that assesses the effectiveness of our programs at achieving the outcomes in our logic model. These outcomes center around Jewish and communal impact, for both participants in Repair’s programming, as well as the communities in which they serve.
