In 1951, the American Jewish Society for Service (AJSS) began its innovative summer program of community service by Jewish teens. We are proud to carry on the vision of our founders, offering an outstanding experience of tikkun olam (repairing the world) in our six-week summer camp work projects.

BREAKING NEWS:
AJSS to Help Hurricane Katrina Victims in 2006

In the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, AJSS will conduct at least one of our 2006 projects in the Gulf area. AJSS has a long time partner, The Southern Mutual Help Association, that serves families in need in 29 parishes in Louisiana. Our four previous partnerships with this wonderful organization have been deeply meaningful, for our teens and for the local communities. We look forward to working with them again in 2006.
