UMC: Mission Accomplished
It isn’t just a program for Jewish teenagers that do volunteer over summer break; it is home.
UMC: A Journey Through the Stages of Life
Within just the first week, I had already made so many new friends, and over the past month, have been lucky enough to live not only with my two incredible roommates, but with a beautiful house full of people I now consider my family.
UMC: Challenge Accepted.
These kids changed my life for the better. This job taught me patience and understanding, and it gave me a glimpse into the life of a counselor. I learned that I want more. The people at Daisy, staff and campers alike, were all so kind and unbelievable. You know the quote, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life?” Well so far this summer, I haven’t been working. I fell in love with Daisy literally from day 1.
The “Best Counselor Ever!” at Play SAFE
I had never fully realized the difference I could make for a person until going to work at Play SAFE. I can’t wait for my connections with these girls to grow even stronger and to see what other lessons I can gain from these experiences.
New Orleans, San Francisco, and New Jersey, oh my!
Although this summer is my last summer that I am able to participate in Mitzvah Corps, I promise anyone reading this right now: my work is not done.
Stepping Back and Letting Mitzvah Corps Shine
I move from hearing about the staff’s excitement and enthusiasm to actually feeling their energy. And these three days lead into what is the most challenging, and yet most fulfilling, part of my job: stepping back and letting it all happen.
The Secret About NFTY’s Mitzvah Corps
Living Judaism within a Jewish environment is easy. It’s understanding how to live Judaism in the rest of the world that’s hard. And that’s exactly what we’re teaching our Mitzvah Corps participants how to do.
UMC is both impacting, and being impacted by, Play SAFE
We are two days into our second jobsite, and I can honestly say these kids are changing my life…
UMC takes the show on the road… to DC!
Yes, we may not share the same opinions as every person here, but that is the point of a community. We are all heard, whether it is within UMC, or in the government, and although we might not always agree, we’ll always listen.
