Bookworms

The Bookworms program, a collaboration of Jewish Volunteer Connection and ASSOCIATED Women, provides opportunity for women to volunteer once a month in area elementary schools. The volunteers spend
time reading to children and provide new or gently-used books for the classroom libraries.

Chapter Two

Chapter Two, a 10-month educational and engagement program, recruits women who are at a stage in their lives when they are looking to grow as Jewish women. Participants learn about themselves, are educated about THE ASSOCIATED and our agencies, take part
in experiential learning and hands-on social action and “capture their passion and turn it into action.”

Dor Tikvah

"Women of Hope. Leaders for the Future."

Dor Tikvah is a two-year leadership development program that caters to women ages 30-45 who aspire to hold key positions within THE ASSOCIATED and the Baltimore Jewish community. Dor Tikvah draws its inspiration from the Jewish traditions of tzedakah (social justice) and tikkun olam (repairing the world). Through fundraising, educational programs, community service projects and agency observation experiences, participants develop an understanding of THE ASSOCIATED and Baltimore’s organized Jewish community, the importance of women’s philanthropy and gain an array of leadership skills.
