About the Morris Cafritz Center for Social Responsibility (MCCCR):
The Morris Cafritz Center for Social Responsibility (MCCSR), a department of the Edlavitch DC Jewish Community Center (EDCJCC), offers both hands-on volunteer opportunities as well as learning about systemic inequality in our communities. We draw on Jewish tradition to guide us in working towards a more just and equitable world. Our volunteer opportunities are designed to be family-friendly, flexible, and accessible whether you can commit one hour a month or a few hours a week. We offer our volunteers the opportunity to build lasting relationships with agencies and clients over the span of years, or volunteer once and try a different project the next time.
In order to affect true change, we must also correct the systemic injustices prevalent in many sectors of our society, so we invite you to come learn with us about the root causes of inequality and how to bring about change on a systemic level. We focus on topics including racial equity, affordable housing, food security, climate change, immigration and refugees, and others. While we are neither a social service agency nor an advocacy organization, we hope to empower community members
