The office provides Weber students and, eventually, teens throughout the Atlanta Jewish community with easily accessible opportunities to choose service projects that align with their interests and skills, thereby incentivizing them to invest more time in acts of Tzedakah.

Ethical Philanthropy Education

This program aims to educate students about the ethical principles of philanthropy and how Jewish values, specifically the concept of Tzedakah, differ from general charitable giving. The goal is to ensure that students understand the deeper meaning of giving back to the community and develop a strong foundation in ethical philanthropy.

Sustainable Student Engagement

This program aims to ensure that a significant portion of Weber students (at least 60%) are actively engaged in ongoing service work or projects. This goal underscores the importance of sustaining student involvement in service activities beyond the initial engagement phase, fostering a culture of ongoing commitment to community service. Additionally, the program focuses on continuous self-study and evaluation to identify successes and challenges and set clear annual benchmarks for future school years, ensuring a continuous improvement cycle.
