“My husband really struggled to feel part of a Jewish community in Chicago, especially as our life started together, and it is so nice to know now that we are welcomed by the Jewish community in so many ways.”

TOV Mitzvah Mania
Young Families partners with the Tikkun Olam Volunteer (TOV) Network to offer one-time volunteer opportunities that match up families with local agencies. Mitzvah Mania projects allow families to take part in tikkun olam (repairing the world) together. Most volunteer opportunities are geared towards families with children ages 8 and under, yet certain projects may have additional age restrictions.
