I felt my experience of humanity expand and my identity as a justice-seeking Jew strengthen. I felt my compassion deepen, and my understanding of society and the structures that hold it together unfold. Above all, the Service Corps gave me the tools to be impactful in an often scary and confusing world. Especially in times like these.

Repair has been there in the moments of my life where I’ve felt the most distress and compassion for the things going on in the world and around me.
Sophie (she/her), Pittsburgh Corps Member, Fall 2020
Justice is a personal obligation for me. College for me was mostly about research and writing essays, and it was hard to feel like any of it was making a tangible impact. With Repair, I can engage in direct service where I can make micro changes, and I’ve shifted my view to a more local perspective on change.
Ruth Blanc (she/her), Miami Corps Member
Serving with Repair the World and Jane Addams helped me find ways to channel this passion, to do good work in the field, and to help others fight injustice.
Isaac Young (he/they), Chicago Corps Member, Spring and Summer 2021
No matter where I have lived throughout my life I always made sure that I continued to do the work needed to make my neighborhood and my community stronger
