Volunteer Opportunities

What Can I Do? When Can I Do It?

Everything. Anything. And now! 

Swing a hammer to help build a new home for a family in need, commit a half hour a week to reading a story to a Hartford child, share ways to make our lives more “green,” offer your home to an Israeli student, pick up the phone for our annual community-wide phonathon Super Sunday, visit residents of the Hebrew Health Care, help newcomers get adjusted, work on anti-poverty and interfaith programs … the opportunities are endless.

Volunteer and political advocacy opportunities are listed in JCRC’s directory, Making a Difference: Fighting Poverty in Greater Hartford.

This directory is a project of the Poverty Initiative of the Social Justice and Intergroup Relations Task Force of the JCRC, which works to mobilize our community to help fight poverty in Greater Hartford and, at the same time, inspire and strengthen activism in local synagogues and their congregations in efforts to help our community fulfill the obligation of tikkun olam – healing the fractures of our world. 

For more information about JCRC or any of the volunteer and political advocacy opportunities, contact Laura Zimmerman, Associate Vice President, JCRC, at (860) 727-6167.
