Service
AJWS no longer offers volunteer service programs.
Until 2013, individuals and groups could volunteer in Africa, Asia and Latin America for short and extended periods of time through AJWS. Students volunteered through Alternative Breaks, Volunteer Summer or the World Partners Fellowship. Professional adults volunteered for longer periods of time through the AJWS Volunteer Corps. AJWS also ran a semi-annual service trip for rabbinical students, to engage future rabbis to make global justice a priority for their future congregations.
