Service
For Pursue, donating your time through service is about both the symptoms and the root causes of injustice. We define service along a broad spectrum, from serving on a board of directors to being an ally doing solidarity work to getting your hands dirty, literally, in a community garden or school yard. Everyone has skills that can be channeled toward serving for and with others.
Start with Pursue’s parent organizations:
American Jewish World Service offers unique opportunities to learn, work, serve and travel in Africa, Asia and the Americas. By partnering with grassroots community-based organizations, volunteers experience firsthand the power of local people effecting change.
AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps participants live out and deepen their commitments to social change and Jewish life through a year of full-time work at anti-poverty organizations in Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Washington, DC.
