Announcing the Publication of Jewish Service Learning What Is And What Could Be: A Summary of an Analysis of the Jewish Service Learning Landscape.

In the fall of 2007, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, the Jim Joseph Foundation and the Nathan Cummings Foundation commissioned BTW informing change (BTW) to assess the landscape of Jewish Service Learning. Joined by a shared interest to better understand the practice and potential of Jewish Service Learning, these foundations asked BTW to examine Jewish Service Learning, the current capacity among practitioners, the support required to further that capacity; and the relevance of secular national service and other faith-based service traditions in defining the potential and evolution of Jewish Service Learning.

This Report shares the findings from interviews with a wide variety of individuals involved in the field, learning from a review of demographic, program, and impact data, and the results of program assessment of immersive term-of-service programs that engage young adults in the United States. The research was not designed to be exhaustive but is intended to provide a high altitude overview of the Jewish Service Learning landscape.
