Repair the World Bay Area launched in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 as a home for Jewish service learning opportunities across the region: San Francisco, East Bay, and South Bay. Our programs include Service Ambassadors, Service Corps, and Jewish service learning programs, often run in partnership with JCCs, synagogues, Moishe Houses, and other local organizations. These programs meet pressing needs like food insecurity and housing justice, and each one is enriched with Jewish learning, issue-area education, and reflection.
