Thank you for your interest in PeerCorps. If you're looking for a unique service opportunity or B mitzvah program that allows you to pursue social justice rooted in Jewish values--you've come to the right place. Depending on your grade level, you may select either Mentee (6th-8th) or  Kesher (9-10th).

The program fee for Mentees and Kesher participants is $125 per cycle (Fall and Spring), but we strongly encourage you to enroll for both cycles.

Your Application Type
PeerCorps is a mentorship program inviting teens from all denominations to build deep relationships with one another and engage in community-based volunteering.

Mentee Experience: B Mitzah age students commit to about 2 sessions per month at a grassroots service organization September-December (Fall) and/or Jan-May (Spring). Mentees work and learn alongside Mentors with built-in reflection and learning around their service issue areas. Mentees are typically between 6th and 8th grade.

Kesher Experience: Similar to the mentee experience, but for teens looking for a bridge experience in-between being a Mentor and a Mentee. Kesher students are typically in 9th grade.

PeerCorps Mentee and Kesher Registration
The mentee program is structured around the academic year, with a fall and spring cycle that build upon each other. Please indicate which cycles you can join us for below.

Wrapping Up




We are so excited that you or your family is participating in Repair the World Pittsburgh's PeerCorps programming. We are grateful for your support and your family's desire to serve.

To ensure the sustainability of the program, we ask all of our families to make a payment per cycle of $125. If you child is signing up for the entire year, this would be a $250 payment.

For those with more resources, we ask for you to consider giving more so as to make possible the participation of a child from a family who otherwise would not be able to. 

For those for whom the full fee represents a financial hardship, please select the payment option (either partial or full scholarship) that works for your family.
