A Service Program from Young Judaea

GENERAL INFO, REGISTRATION, COSTS & SUBSIDIES

What is AWB?

AWB is a dynamic service-learning program that promotes social responsibility, volunteerism and the Jewish value of Tikun Olam (repairing the world). AWB takes participants to a community in need to engage in intensive volunteering. Participants can expect to spend 20-25 volunteer hours, which can vary from working at an elderly center to helping do light construction. AWB participants will also take part in an evening program each night to give a proper Jewish context to their experience or to better understand the community in which they are working, as well as have fun!

Where is AWB going this year?

* Los Angeles, where participants will tackle issues of poverty and homelessness
