Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Have you resolved to take action in your community, donate your time or share your talents? We want to help you keep these resolutions in a fun and meaningful way…create and register your “Make a Difference” Day 2011 project with Areyvut today!
This year’s theme is “Building Blocks that Matter: Strengthening Relationships and Fostering Community”. With so much good that can be done on local, regional and global levels there are an infinite number of ways to get involved with this initiative. To help even further, Areyvut is happy to offer you our “Make a Difference” Day Educational Resources which are free of charge and available on our website. This guide provides you with step by step program planning instructions as well as numerous project ideas, textual resources and so much more.
Of course, we are also here to help with your program planning in any way we can! Send us an email or drop us a line to let us know the type of program you would like to coordinate and we’ll work with you to see it through.

Sometimes funny, sometimes important, always up to date. Check out “Out and About with Areyvut”, our blog, to know what we’re thinking, what we’re up to and how you can get involved!
Need some incentive? Here are excerpts from recent posts.
“…Chanukah is about adding light to the world and we at Areyvut have an opportunity for those of you in Queens to add light to the world on an ongoing basis…We are bringing Mitzvah Clowning to Queens…tell your friends, tell your parents or grandparents that you want the gift that keeps on giving this Chanukah.”
“Shabbat Gilad is the brainchild of Ari Hagler…Ari has over 150 schools, synagogues and organizations throughout the world participating in this important effort.”
“The People Behind Disney’s Give a Day, Get a Disney Day Program. I’d be lying is I said I didn’t still shudder every time I think back to the days when Areyvut was involved with this program…we had over 100 people involved in community service projects from January through April with a variety of different organizations serving the community. A few aspirin later and everyone was happy that children, parents, teens, etc. could volunteer and earn a free Disney Day!”
“There is more search interest in investigating the quality of dog food than charities. Well, at least interest in charities outranks interest in cat food.”
“…these are the items that made me stop and think…I can only hope that our 1,000th Tweet, in addition to all the others we send out, have the same effect on someone too.”
