A train ride away. A different side of New York. Power plants. Waste facilities. The least green space in NYC. 1 in 4 are unemployed. 1 in 2 live at or below the poverty line.

But the South Bronx is fighting for a different future. Community members are cleaning up hazardous waste, installing green roofs, restoring open spaces, and transforming broken sidewalks into bicycle paths.

This summer, help the South Bronx community keep the momentum going!

Get your hands dirty - join low-income families to build affordable homes in a LEED certified apartment building. Meet undergrads like you - spend a week with students passionate about social justice. Expand your mind - explore Jewish perspectives on urban housing and environmental justice.

During this economic crisis, don't sit on the sidelines. Join us to help rebuild the South Bronx into a vibrant and sustainable community.
