Serve the Moment
Are you a compassionate and courageous leader looking to make a difference?
The pandemic has widely and disproportionately impacted L.A.’s—and the country’s—most vulnerable residents. We’re looking for amazing young adults to join a stipended service learning fellowship to engage in critical racial justice work, tackle food insecurity, strengthen our education system, and help combat social isolation.
Volunteer with local nonprofits (either virtually or safely in person) while learning about social inequities and systemic injustices.
NuRoots and the Federation are partnering with Repair the World, the Jewish Service Alliance, and dozens of L.A. service partners to mix urgent community service projects and meaningful learning. Serve the Moment corps members will volunteer, learn, and reflect together, focusing on social and systemic inequities and rooting the experience in Jewish values.

In Los Angeles County, more than 15,700 people sleep in their vehicles each night. Rachel spent ten weeks with Safe Parking L.A., which offers safe and legal homelessness intervention to stabilize vulnerable people and connect them to resources.
"Serve the Moment has reignited my passion for volunteer work. You truly brightened my life during the last three months and created a sense of community within our cohort. Every time I found a client who could benefit from Safe Parking, I felt a sense of accomplishment and happiness. I directly helped individuals struggling to find a safe place to sleep at night."
Jasmine spent ten weeks with the St. Joseph Center, which provides working poor families and homeless people of all ages with inner resources and tools to become productive, stable, and self-supporting members of the community.
“So honored to be a part of Serve the Moment! Thank you for the opportunity and grateful for all the hardworking cohort members and leaders who made this experience wonderful. Hope is at the heart of the St. Joseph Center, and being around this organization has given me a new perspective on giving and service.”
