Help NECHAMA Mobilize Volunteers
NECHAMA is seeking Jewish professionals and/or volunteer leaders who are actively engaged in their local Jewish community and are experienced at liaising with communal institutions. The primary function of this mission-critical role is to help attract local volunteers interested in engaging in Tikkun Olam by providing direct service in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster.
