As a result of our new strategic priorities and desire to revisit our volunteer process and structure, we no longer have in place the service to meet personal volunteer needs.  Our Jewish Community Volunteer Program closed it doors on January 15 and will remain closed for several months while we revisit our structure and priorities. 
 
Included below is a list of agencies that are supported by Combined Jewish Philanthropies and who offer volunteer opportunities.  Good luck in your effort and we apologize for not being able to accommodate your needs.
