Avodah is a national network of Jewish leaders working to fight domestic poverty and promote social justice. In addition to engaging in service at leading non-profits, participants in the Jewish Service Corps live together as a community and engage in weekly educational programs to deepen their understanding of social justice, Jewish identity, and how to stay in the work longterm.
Avodah is committed to building a service corps that inclusively represents the diverse Jewish Community. Sephardi Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Jews of Color, people of color, women, people with disabilities, immigrants, LGBT2QIA+ people, and people who come from poor or working class backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
