Be a mensch!

MenschWorks is a volunteer program that allows Jewish adults in their 20's, 30's and early 40's to meet like-minded adults while learning about, and being of service to, the Seattle Jewish community. Service days are once a month on Sunday, January through June, and feature various volunteer activities at a partner agency of the Jewish Federation (see the list of our 2010 projects is below).
