JCorps :
Jewish Volunteering
Website: http://jcorps.org
Email: hm_volunteer_ny@jcorps.org
JCorps is the largest Jewish (non-religious) volunteer network in the
world. It's thousands of New York City members (aged 18-28) feed the
hungry in soup kitchens, comfort the elderly in senior centers,
entertain children in hospitals, and beautify the parks throughout the
city. JCorps volunteers on Sundays and week nights in groups of 20 or
more, so it's a great way to make friends while making a difference.
It is non-religious and non-denominational, and open to all unmarried
Jewish young adults aged 18-28. Sign up for the events list at
