aunched in the fall of 2007, Mitzvah Corps has seen incredible success. Twenty-four seventh and eighth graders participated regularly in the first year of this unique program. More important, students who have shown solid commitment to the program and its objectives have gained a sense of the Jewish responsibility to make the world a better place.Our students were challenged by some of our society’s greatest problems: hunger, growing old alone, homelessness, developmental disability and pollution. They took action by volunteering with several organizations that are tackling these social inequities. As a result, Mitzvah Corps students have started relationships with successful social-service organizations and have acquired new skills to help those in need.
