Avodah
A national network of Jewish leaders working to fight domestic poverty and promote social justice. In addition to service at leading non-profits, participants in Adovah’s Jewish Service Corps live together as a community and engage in weekly educational programs to deepen their understanding of domestic poverty, Jewish identity, and how to stay in the work long-term. 

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.
