Serve the Moment Corps Members will volunteer while learning and reflecting with their peers through training led by national leaders in the field. There will be an intentional focus on social inequity, systemic injustices (racial, food, and education), and addressing urgent needs through meaningful service rooted in Jewish values.

Serve the Moment Corps Members will spend 10 hours/week volunteering, and an additional 2 hours a week elevating their professional skills and accelerating their personal growth through virtual learning sessions. 

1. Each placement will be different in each city. Some of our partners are requesting Corps Members take on virtual work to help them during this time, meaning volunteering can happen virtually from home. Others are in need of volunteers who are willing and able to work on the frontlines addressing issues on the ground, Corps Members who are able and willing to volunteer in these placements will wear PPE supplied by Serve the Moment. 
2. Once you’re accepted into your city, you will work with your coordinator there to be matched with between 1-3 organizations.

1. Applications open on August 10th and will be considered on a rolling basis until September 14th. The earlier you apply, the better your chances are of being accepted. We will be interviewing and admitting applicants as we receive their applications. The application process is as follows:

• Step One- Application:  Fill out the online application here. The application is pretty short, and will ask you for some personal information, a copy of your resume, and for you to submit a short video  (this is in lieu of essays and does not need to be fancy – you can talk directly into a smartphone or computer camera) or submit a written response in lieu of a video. 
• Step Two- Interview:  If you move forward you will sign up for, and have a 30 minute interview with a member of our team. All interviews will be conducted over Zoom.
• Step Three- Offer: Once you complete your interview, you will receive notification within one week if you have received an offer to join Serve the Moment.

1. No you do not. The Serve the Moment Service Corps is an initiative that works to address the needs of all members of the community in which we work. You don’t need to be Jewish to be a Corps Member. You do need to be excited about mobilizing the Jewish community to serve. Jewish values are infused into the experience. You should also be ready to explore how Jewish history and customs inform our responsibility for creating a better and more just world.
2. The Jewish Service Alliance is explicitly looking to build a cohort that reflects the multitude of identities that exists within both the American and Jewish communities. Applicants who identify as BIPOC, Jews of Color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and non-binary people; women; and differently abled people are encouraged to apply. 

1. Every Corps Member will work with a local coordinator that will connect them with local non-profit partners.
2. All Corps Members will engage in weekly learning and reflection with national leaders in the field, and the program will kick off with an Orientation and Training between September 30th and October 5th. 

1. All Corps Members have the option of a $1,250 stipend for their service.
2. We invite you to opt into the level of stipend that feels right to you and meets your current needs up to $1,250.

We do not want financial barriers to prevent anyone from serving. If there is financial need, accepted Corps Members are eligible to apply for additional funding through our Equity Fund. 

The only eligibility for the Serve the Moment Service Corps is that the applicant is between the ages of 18-29 who is authorized to work in the US. There are no requirements in terms of education or work experience. The application is open to all who want to serve.
