JDC Short-Term Service Programs are connecting North American young adults to the global Jewish community through 10-day volunteer programs in a Jewish community overseas. With each project, participants have the opportunity to engage in meaningful service, connect with peers abroad, and learn about the pressing needs of Jews around the world as well as advocate for the Jewish community they visited upon their return home.
