COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT | REPAIR THE WORLD
Community Service
“Give of yourself… you can always give something, even if it is only kindness…no one has ever become poor from giving.”
Through repairing the world, tikkun olam, we grow as individuals, deepen connections to each other, and strengthen communities inside and outside of TBE.
Community of Adult Social Action (CASA)
