What is Jewish Service Learning?
Jewish service learning links community service with learning, action, and reflection to engage learners of all ages and backgrounds and to connect them to their Jewish identity and deepen their commitment to service.
How do we define a service activity?
Service activities include any actions that meet a community need.
- Volunteering or direct service
- Philanthropy or fundraising
- Advocacy
- Social justice
- Community organizing
How long and intensive does a service activity need to be?
Service activities, when paired with learning and reflection, can take place over any length of time. Some organizations offer one-day volunteer programs while others offer year-long programs. Some offer immersive programs, taking participants to communities in need in both the US and overseas for weeks or months at a time.
