Service Corps Application Fall 2023

Overview of the Repair the World Service Corps

Repair the World’s Service Corps mobilizes adults ages 18-29 to invest both in their communities and themselves through the lens of Jewish values. This is a part-time, 12-week service opportunity where Service Corps members will spend a minimum of 5 hours per week volunteering with local service partners as well as connecting Jewish approaches to service with issue-area education. Service Corps cohorts are supervised by local Repair the World staff across 8 communities. Corps members are eligible to receive a stipend of up to $1,250 with additional economic access funding available.
