The Jewish Volunteer Corps places professional Jewish women and men – alone or in pairs - as volunteer consultants to local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the developing world. Volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and - through the JVC partnership - provide humanitarian aid in the form of technical assistance and training at the grassroots level. JVC volunteers help the local community improve its capacity to address deeply rooted problems of poverty, disease, illiteracy and hunger. Volunteers have the opportunity to practice sustainable development - provide training or create a teaching manual that will impact the NGO long after the volunteer returns home, and act as a Jewish ambassador.
