Repair the World’s organizational mission is to make service a defining part of Jewish life through volunteer opportunities, service learning, and broader contextual social justice education. Repair the World’s efforts to address violence and cultivate peace centers on programs that give participants an opportunity to listen to and hear from different, perhaps unexpected, narratives and perspectives on a given issue. RTW has partnered with non-profits such as the West Philadelphia Alliance for Children and the Broad Street Ministry to address their core issues of education and food justice in Philadelphia. Projects are organized and carried out by fellows, who commit to a year of leadership and service. These fellows, typically between the ages of 21 and 26, recruit, train, and serve alongside volunteers to bring about real community change around education justice and food justice.

Note: The Repair the World Philadelphia program closed in the summer of 2020 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
