Join the EDCJCC’s inaugural Giving Back Circle—a giving circle with a twist! Instead of focusing on financial contributions, this program centers on giving your time through volunteer work and community building.

Led by volunteer leaders, the group will select projects that align with the issues they care about most, creating a meaningful way to give back to the DC community. This program is ideal for people who are excited to help design and shape their own volunteer projects, and less suited for those who prefer drop-in or pre-arranged opportunities.

The first session will be held on October 23 from 6:00-8:00 PM and will include learning, discussion, and collaborative planning for the next six months. Together, the group will choose projects and set a schedule, with activities taking place on weeknights or weekends.

The cohort will meet once a month for six months, and participants are asked to attend at least 4 of the 6 sessions. This program is open to adults ages 25–40 from any Jewish background. Registration is $25 per person; if cost is a barrier, please email Mira at msmith@edcjcc.org. During the program, participants will also have opportunities to donate items or funds to specific projects.
