J-SERVE Committee Ambassador
Every year we host our huge event of hands-on Jewish teen service called J-SERVE. 2019's event had 200 teens in attendance! This was due in no small part to the commitment of the dedicated teen leaders, our J-SERVE Ambassadors, who represented organizations from all over Greater MetroWest.
As Ambassadors, teens will serve as the critical link between the organization or Jewish demographic they represent and the J-Serve Committee planning team. The central role of J-Serve is to mobilize the entire Jewish teen population to become unified through the community building that comes from direct hands-on service enriched with Jewish learning. This task is only achievable if teen leaders from local Jewish synagogues, clubs, and programs come together to encourage their peers to engage in the event. J-Serve 2020 is targeting 300+ teens to come to Whippany NJ on Sunday, March 29 to perform 12 Jewish service learning projects.
Please understand by accepting this role, teens will be expected to attend J-Serve Committee meetings to help plan and execute projects for the date of J-serve. This commitment means that the teen will have to attend monthly meeting dates at 901 Rt 10, Whippany NJ for the J-Serve committee. The following is the schedule for this year:
All J-Serve Committee dates will be held on the Aidekman Campus at 901 Rt 10, Whippany NJ. Kosher nosh will be provided for every session!
*J-SERVE 2020 will be taking place on the afternoon of March 29, 2020*
