Mission Statement
Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world, igniting a lifelong commitment to service. We believe service in support of social change is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life. By 2030, Repair will inspire and catalyze one million acts of service towards repairing the world. Repair the World Communities, engages young adults in social change around education and food justice in neighborhoods in various cities including Pittsburgh. In most communities, a City Director supports a cohort of fellows (ages 21-26) who make a two year-long service commitment to Repair the World. During this experience, Repair’s fellows work closely with local nonprofits to create authentic and impactful volunteering and education opportunities--and they use peer-to-peer outreach and recruitment to engage thousands of other young adults in volunteering and learning.

We work to build relationships, show up with long-time friends and neighbors, and address local needs including food justice, education justice, and more through service based in Jewish values. Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world.
