Seattle J-Serve 2026

Since 2005, J-Serve has provided teens with the opportunity to engage in meaningful service while embodying core Jewish values, including gemilut chasadim (acts of loving kindness), tzedakah (just and charitable giving), and tikkun olam (the responsibility to repair the world). 
 
This year, Seattle-area teens will come together for hands-on service projects that address important community needs. Whether you’re packing birthday bags for children experiencing homelessness, cooking meals for teens facing housing insecurity, providing companionship and support to individuals with disabilities or elderly adults, or participating in environmental projects, your service will truly make a difference.
