Our Impact
Repair the World is the Jewish service movement. Through service we respond to urgent needs, strengthen communities, and bridge divides.
Through Jewish service and learning, participants explore identity and purpose, strengthen their connection to Jewish tradition and community, and address urgent issues like food insecurity, housing injustice, and education inequity.
Our Approach to Service
Service connects us: to each other, to our neighbors, and to something bigger than ourselves. It’s how we show up in everyday moments and in times of crisis—offering support, bringing hope, and working toward a more just world. We believe that service in support of social change is essential to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life. It’s how we bridge divides and build common ground—one act at a time.

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.
