Seventh Graders Get Hands-on in San Francisco Community

As part of the Brandeis Tzedek Program, seventh graders participate in four days of service learning. This year the seventh graders are taking part in the Tenderloin Walking Tour, serving lunch at Glide Memorial, and volunteering at Family Crossroads and Urban Adamah. Last week, students spent the morning participating in both the Tenderloin Walking Tour and at Glide Memorial. “The seventh graders had such a powerful day,” explains teacher Jody Bloom. “We spent the morning getting to know the Tenderloin neighborhood, and then we served 630 (yes, 630!) lunches. These days of service learning provide students with face-to-face interactions in the areas of need in their community, and provide them with a sense of humility and inspirations to become agents of change.” MORE PHOTOS
