Mitzvah Corps allows progressive Jewish teens to experience social action at its best. Our program combines direct hands-on involvement in communities that need the energy, dedication, and love that youth provide with programs rooted in Jewish social and ethical issues.
Participants spend their days engaged in social service, volunteering for a variety of organizations through the Mitzvah Corps location of their choice. Evenings are devoted to guest speakers, educational programs and group dynamics activities aimed at developing a greater understanding of social justice in the context of Reform Judaism.
For summer 2010 we are pleased to offer the following Mitzvah Corps locations: Costa Rica, Israel, New Jersey, New Orleans, San Francisco and URJ Kutz Camp. Mitzvah Corps programs are open for high school students entering 10-12th. Urban Mitzvah Corps is open for high school students entering 11th-12th grade.
For more information visit our website at www.mitzvahcorps.org or contact Miriam Fink at mitzvahcorps@urj.org or 212-650-4071.
