My Nonprofit Reviews

Avodah is an incredible organization that significantly increases the capacity of local non-profits in the greater DC area to fight poverty. In addition, it develops Corps members to become life long advocates and organizers for justice through a Jewish lens.

I've been a fan of Avodah since it's inception and been involved as a volunteer since 2010 in Washington, DC. What moves me most about Avodah is watching young Jewish leaders engage in social justice in their local communities, all while part of a communal Jewish framework. This experience becomes a defining one for their lives, impacting future decisions about how to live their lives and how they will contribute to society. I always joke that I wish Avodah had existed when I was a graduating college student so I could have been a part of it. Now I wish that my kids will want to do it when they are old enough!
