The National Council of Jewish Women is a volunteer organization that has been at the forefront of social change for over a century. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW courageously takes a progressive stance on issues such as child welfare, women’s rights, and reproductive freedom.
Our Greater Philadelphia Section translates these national ideals into impactful local action. Through dedicated community service projects, grassroots advocacy, and educational programs, we work tirelessly to improve the lives of women, children, and families right here in our neighborhood. We invite you to join our network of passionate volunteers, explore our upcoming events, and help us turn progressive values into meaningful change.
