“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”
- Hillel c. 200 CE

Jewish tradition teaches that it is essential to care for ourselves so we can care for others when the time comes. That time is now and in Repair the World NYC’s Summer Teen Service Corps we will have a fantastic time exploring the city with new friends and volunteering hands-on to support our neighbors in need at a crucial moment.

Apply for one or both of our summer sessions during which we will volunteer, form an amazing community of young change-makers, learn about social justice in the city, and have fun!
