What Avodah the Jewish Service Corps Inc does
Mission
Avodah develops lifelong social justice leaders whose work is informed by jewish values and who inspire the jewish community to work toward a more just and equitable world.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Avodah is a national organization that has built a new generation of jewish leaders committed to social justice for over twenty-five years. Through our young adult programs -- the jewish service corps and justice fellowship -- we provide young jewish leaders with the tools, experience, knowledge, and networks they need to create a more just and equitable country. Avodah has a profound and lasting impact on our participants, both during our immersive programs and once they become part of our expansive national avodah alumni network of approximately 1,500 individuals. Through the 2022 launch of the avodah institute for social change, we've expanded our offerings by providing education, training, advising, and programming to mid-career and senior jewish leaders to deepen their institutions' commitment to social change.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.8M to $2.9M (+60%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
89% of AVODAH THE JEWISH SERVICE CORPS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (60% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
