Essential Information
The Jewish Service Corps is an immersive service year program for individuals ages 21-26 who are passionate about social justice and ready to engage in Jewish community.
Corps Members live and learn together in intentional, pluralistic communal homes in Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Washington, DC. While they deepen their social justice framework through experiential programming and values-driven community building, Corps Members serve on the ground at local organizations tackling crucial social and economic justice issues.
Corps Members graduate with a year of real-world job experience, joining our active 1,700+ alumni network of Jewish social justice professionals that will continue to support their future careers and serve as their Jewish community for life.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply by the priority deadline to have the best chance of being matched with their top-ranked placement organization and/or cities. Applicants who apply by the priority deadline will receive an interview invitation by mid-February and may be informed of their acceptance as early as mid-April.
