Each JCOGS Tikkun Olam committee or initiative is being encouraged to identify or lead a project that reflects their passions, connections, and interests, while fostering collaboration within the broader community whenever possible, and some have already begun. We are looking to address all of the topics generated in our plan for this calendar year! It’s a chance for the whole JCOGS community to come together in service and honor Dr. King’s legacy.
If you’d like to get involved, email jcogs@jcogs.org with your ideas, interests, or ways you can help. Once you email, we can get you connected with a project or initiative. You don’t need to attend in person—any contribution counts!
