Manager, Field Activation

About

Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world. We believe that service in support of social change is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life. By 2030, Repair will catalyze one million acts of service towards repairing the world.

In 2009, Repair the World began elevating meaningful service as a defining element of Jewish life by engaging Jewish young adults in service and learning to meet pressing local needs. Today, Repair leads the Jewish service movement, connecting Jews and their neighbors to volunteer opportunities that always include meaningful Jewish learning. Repair hosts volunteer opportunities in cities across the country, and partners with major Jewish organizations—like Hillels, JCCs, and Federations—to bring Jewish service to people all over the world.

Repair’s Field Activation Work

In 2020, Repair created the Jewish Service Alliance (“JSA”), a coalition of 50+ Jewish organizations dedicated to expanding service opportunities and mobilizing tens of thousands annually in impactful Jewish service—strengthening the Jewish service movement to empower flourishing communities in pursuit of a just world. Through our Field Activation work, Repair scales Jewish service learning by building strategic partnerships, developing and sharing educational resources, and supporting JSA partners worldwide to implement meaningful service programming. These initiatives include training cohorts, partner convenings, and specialized programs such as Hillel International’s Service Engagement Internship, JCC Association’s Tzedek Initiative for Jewish Service-Learning, Service in Israel experiences, and many more—all unified by a commitment to high-quality Jewish service learning and seamless implementation.

Powered by Repair is a partnership model that places a Repair the World staff member within a local Jewish organization to run service and learning programs. The staff member is trained and supported by Repair, but operates through the partner organization to engage the local community.
