Tween Volunteers

You like a lots of things, like make new friends... do stuff that's creative or outdoors or just plain fun... and change the world for the better.

But what if we told you that you can do all those things at the same time?!

Well, you can. You can volunteer through TOV. TOV (which rhymes with "stove") is the Hebrew word for "good," and you'll be doing good as soon as you pick your project and sign up! You can volunteer with your friends, classmates, or family.

But T-O-V also stands for "Tikkun Olam Volunteers." "Tikkun Olam" is the Jewish way of saying "repairing the world." And if you look around, you'll see a lot of things that need fixing!

Well, no one can do it all at once... or all alone. That's why we created TOV, which links these projects with the people who have the energy and drive to do them. Like you!

Here on the Tween Page, we will list many ways you can help, with projects picked just for you and your fellow terrific tweens who really want to change the world.

See the TOV page to find out more, sign up, and help make a difference!

Make it a Season to Remember by Volunteering with TOV! The JUF TOV Volunteer Network's winter calendar of one-time volunteer projects, Merry Mitzvot, runs from Sunday, November 23, 2008 through Thursday, January 1, 2009 and offers many opportunities to give back during the holiday season. From sorting donations to serving food, you are sure to find a way to make your holidays more meaningful. Working with MM, TOV will be collecting new or unopened travel-size toiletries and cleaning products to benefit the clients of local social service agencies.
