GET INVOLVED IN JEWISH COMMUNITY



Volunteers are at the heart of UJA’s mission to strengthen the Jewish community. When you give your time, you not only support those in need but also fuel your sense of purpose.

 

We are here to help you find the roles and opportunities that make you feel a connection to community. Whether it’s a one-time event or a months-long program, this is the space for you to get engaged and make a meaningful impact.

Major Upcoming Initiatives and Events



UPLIFTING DOWNTOWN


UJA's Rabbi Rafi Lipner is working to uplift those working downtown—one monthly event at a time! Rabbi Lipner brings people together to enhance their sense of Jewish identity, build connections, establish a network of Jewish professionals in the downtown core, and provide valuable teachings in casual environments. Whether it’s lunch & learns, post-work drinks, or creative tzedakah initiatives, this community of downtown professionals is bringing the ruach we’re all looking for.

THE LITTLEST VOLUNTEER


 The Littlest Volunteer is a community-wide program designed to teach our youngest community members about volunteerism. UJA works with partner agencies to create meaningful programs, enabling children to learn about various ways to participate in the Jewish community.
