Community Engagement

The Bridge to Success Program provides mini-grants to graduates of Sacramento’s Women’s Empowerment (WE) training programs. These mini grants assist graduates with housing, education, job training and other expenses that hinder their path to success. For more information, contact Annie Hohn.

Women’s Empowerment (WE) – In addition to our Bridge to Success Project, NCJW coordinates with our local Women’s Empowerment program to identify areas of need and ways to address them. From collecting clothing, to assembling women’s hygiene kits, providing masks and offering resources to support WE programs and graduates, NCJW partners with WE to make a difference in the daily lives of women, children and families in our area.  For updates, contact Leslie Holzman.

Mitzvah in a Minute (MIM) Projects – opportunities to easily engage in local community service projects that benefit women, children, families and our region. Examples of past MIMs include: donating holiday gifts for seniors and families; contributing to food banks; collecting household goods for refugee families; supporting youth in foster care; filling backpacks with school supplies; creating hygiene kits for women who are homeless and partnering with Meals on Wheels, the Jewish Federation, Children’s Home, Loaves & Fishes, the Child Abuse Prevention Council and other local organizations. MIMs are generated by our members and connect our advocacy and education efforts with direct community service projects. To suggest new projects and/or volunteer, contact Sheila Wolfe.
