Volunteer Opportunities During COVID-19

Find Ways to Help Your Community

Whether it is in person or virtually, there are many opportunities from 14Y partners and other agencies for you to give support your community members affected by COVID-19.

Volunteer Opportunities Through Educational Alliance

Manny Cantor Center: Virtual volunteer opportunities to help MCC’s community members access much-needed resources and information.

Educational Alliance: Opportunities to support vulnerable members of the EA community are available for helpers of all ages!

• Children and preteens:
  • Create cards that can be sent to our community members wishing them well
  • Put together some kind of activity pack (with copies of things like jumbles, word searches, etc.) that we can send to people who need them.
• Teenagers:
  • Hold a fundraiser to send items to our isolated members. You can also help coordinate the purchasing and delivery of those items if possible.
• Young adults and adults:
  • Sign up to make friendly phone calls to isolated community members.

Volunteer Opportunities with Jewish Values

UJA Federation: Virtual volunteer opportunities from UJA Federation’s network of partners, including the Educational Alliance, to help reduce social isolation for high-risk and quarantined individuals.

Repair the World: Both in-person and virtual volunteer opportunities infused with Jewish sensibilities. Those looking for in-person, Jewish-focused volunteer opportunities in Brooklyn can find more information here.
