Featured Volunteer Opportunities

Members of Central Synagogue are invited to help repair the world by volunteering. Please note that due to logistics, we can only accept volunteers who are members of Central Synagogue.

Babies are Central: Welcome Baskets

E-mail: Welcome_baskets@censyn.org
Phone: 212-838-5122, ext. 5001

Central Connections creates and delivers baby baskets to welcome our youngest members to Central Synagogue’s community. We are looking for creative hands to assemble these baskets and/or individuals to deliver them. Assist in organizing a Bagels & B’lox brunch for our cutest and newest members and their parents!

Bake at Home

E-mail: baking@censyn.org
Phone: 212-838-5122, ext. 5003

You can give the hungry a special gift by baking cookies, cakes or muffins at home and bringing them to the Community House every Wednesday before 3:00 p.m. Volunteers in our Breakfast Program will pack and seal each treat with a sticker to let our guests know that it was baked with them in mind.

Be a Construction Worker for the Day

E-mail: habitat@censyn.org
Phone: 212-838-5122, ext. 5002

Several times throughout the year, we ask congregants to join Central Synagogue’s team to build homes with Habitat for Humanity – New York City. Typically, the workday is from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. No construction experience is necessary. We also schedule “builds” in conjunction with Mitzvah Days. (See Mitzvah Days at Central Synagogue for contact information regarding these Habitat for Humanity events.)

Become a History Maker

Phone: 212-838-5122

Central Synagogue's history is being made every day. If you would like to help our Archives keep this history accessible for future generations, please join us in the Archives Office on Wednesday afternoons. Basic computer skills are necessary.

Caring Committee’s Breakfast Program

Phone: 212-838-5122, ext. 5004

The Caring Committee would love to welcome new volunteers who are willing to donate as little as one hour a week to feed the homeless. You also can help by donating plastic take-out containers, travel-size sundries from hotels, planes, etc. or clothing items such as socks and men's pants and shirts. These can be brought to the Community House at any time. Monetary donations are also gratefully accepted.
