Social Justice & Volunteerism

The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), our partner agency, speaks out for the most vulnerable—the ones least likely to be heard. Learn how you can impact social justice, and what we’re doing on Beacon Hill to improve the lives of others in both Jewish and non-Jewish communities.

Public Policy and Advocacy

Everyone has the right to live a life of dignity—that’s why we support agencies like JCRC. As the government relations arm of the Jewish community, they’re changing public policy and helping local Jewish communities to organize on issues important to them. The result? Real change at a grassroots level.
