Inspired by successful volunteer co-ops in other communities, we built our Shabbat co-op to increase members’ involvement in events, spread a sense of collective ownership, and create a leadership pipeline to sustain our community in the long run. 

The volunteer co-op also enables us to live out our values: to support sustainable leadership, to engage and build with our community, and to foster a sense of belonging among members. 

Each quarter, members are asked to sign up for roles for upcoming Shabbat gatherings. This allows us to plan ahead and ensure all events run smoothly.
