JVN

The Jewish Volunteering Network (JVN) serves as the central volunteering network for the Jewish community, primarily operating in London and Manchester. Since our founding 18 years ago, our database has grown to include around 8,500 potential volunteers. Over this time, JVN has supported 470 different charities with volunteering, enabled over 8,100 applications for volunteering roles and trained countless Volunteer Managers through training sessions and conferences. JVN’s CPD accredited Good Practice in Volunteer Management series, and our annual Volunteering Conference for CEOs and Volunteer Managers are key components of our support to the charity sector. Currently we have around 50 charity partners and we work with around 50 more who use our website to post their volunteering roles. 

JVN plays our part in key volunteering and charity sector networks on a local (Barnet, Salford), regional (London, Manchester) and national level (Shaping the Future Through Volunteering, the Civil Society Group). In 2017 JVN was privileged to receive the Queens’ Award for Voluntary Service.

At JVN we believe in the power of volunteering to transform lives, communities and society. We use our expertise to connect the right volunteers to the right charities, enabling them to continue their crucial work, fighting cancer, supporting people with learning difficulties and providing social care services
