Volunteer


Welcome! Let’s figure out how you can make the Greater Boston Jewish community even stronger.

Our community is at its best when we activate the talent, experience, and passions of all our members. Tell us how you want to get involved in building Jewish life, caring for our most vulnerable, and promoting human dignity.

Maybe you’re here because you’re looking to share your expertise with others. Or you’re searching for a new way to give back. We’ll help you find your volunteer fit and meet like-minded people who are working to make the world a better place.

What are you passionate about?

We want to make sure that you’re both helping the Jewish community where it most needs support and finding a fulfilling way to share your talents and spend your time.

 

Join CJP’s Hineni Volunteer Network


Many local Jewish organizations are looking for committed community members who can share their experience, expertise, and knowledge. The Hineni Volunteer Network works to match volunteers with organizations who need support in the areas of strategic planning, marketing, networking, fundraising, finance, and more. When you join, not only will you have the chance to add a meaningful experience to your resume, but you’ll also give back to the Jewish community you so deeply care about.

If you are interested in joining the Hineni Volunteer Network, please reach out to Dara, Director of Volunteer Mobilization or fill out this quick contact form and we’ll be in touch.
