Volunteer

Service brings us together to tackle society’s greatest challenges, build stronger communities, and be a force that transforms the world. Jewish tradition reminds us that a person is commanded to work toward justice, tzedek, by working to build a just, complete world. We serve alongside our communities in pursuit of a just society while seeking to create meaningful and lasting change. Join us.

    Use your creativity to spread joy, create belonging, and support children in low-income or foster families. This ongoing opportunity allows you to give back from anywhere and is a great introduction to service for kids. Birthday cards should not have any names on them (no “to” or “from” [name]). The cards should read “happy birthday” on the outside and a positive message such as “have a great day” on the inside. It’s best to stick to these positive greetings. Gender neutral cards are encouraged. Be creative and use color generously! Flashcards can include the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, sight words, pictures, dominoes/dots, and more. Dual-language (Spanish and English) cards are a plus!
