Volunteers' Training

The AJR's volunteer services department provides ongoing training for all volunteers on various aspects of our work.

Forthcoming training

Jewish Culture

AJR's Head of Volunteer services, Carol Hart, offers a “Jewish Culture” project for non Jewish volunteers, where she speaks about Jewish customs and traditions. Carol runs a similar project as last year in co-operation with the agency Action Reconciliation Services for Peace (ARSP) which supports the AJR by providing non Jewish Polish & German students who act as befrienders. This promises to be a very enjoyable evening.

Where: AJR Head Office, Jubilee House, Merrion Avenue, Stanmore, Middx HA7 4RL
When: 7.00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Wednesday 21 October 2009
