The AJWS Alumni Community

The AJWS alumni community is comprised of over 2,000 people who have participated in our service programs since 1994.  

AJWS service programs are distinguished by their unique focus on the intersection between Judaism, service and global justice.  Our alumni initiative provides a growing range of opportunities for continuing this dialogue: for exploring ways to live our values; for creating community with like-minded people; for making meaningful and intentional choices about how we spend our time and our money; and for taking action on the most pressing issues of the day.

AJWS alumni are diverse in their passions and interests. And while AJWS is deeply committed to international grassroots development and sustainability – a core element of all of our service programs – we offer a variety of ways for alumni to engage in social justice on their return from the developing world.  In 2006, AJWS inaugurated a partnership with AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps, a domestic poverty-reduction organization that integrates work for social change, Jewish learning and community building.  Our partnership’s mission is to inspire, engage, and support lifelong agents for social justice, rooted in and nourished by Jewish values.  With national and regional staff in New York, Washington, D.C. and the Bay Area, we are working with our alumni, alumni of other Jewish service programs, and their like-minded friends to help build a truly global Jewish social justice movement.
