J-Serve is the National Day of Jewish Youth Service. Since 2005, J-Serve has been a part of YSA's Global Youth Service Day.
J-Serve provides teens with the opportunity to fulfill the Jewish values of gemilut chasidim (acts of loving kindness), tzedakah (just and charitable giving), and tikkum olam (the responsibility to repair the world). Across the globe, teens will join each other to make their community and the world a better place.
