Outreach and Service
Leven Office of Student Service and Philanthropy
Tikkun Olam is our community service learning program that emphasizes community engagement and contribution. It is led by The Michael and Andrea Leven Office of Student Service and Philanthropy, managed and operated by a student Governing Board at The Weber School. The Leven Office serves as a clearinghouse for Weber students to choose meaningful, high-impact community service through a philanthropic lens. It provides Weber students, and eventually teens throughout the Atlanta Jewish community, easily accessible opportunities to choose service projects that align with their interests and skills, thereby incentivizing them to increase the time that they invest in acts of Tzedakah.
Service at Each Grade Level
Students are expected to complete 32 hours of community service each year, and many of our students exceed that goal. To make our service projects more engaging and to assist with tracking and verifying hours, we use the Mobileserve service.
Weber school students participate in unique grade-level service days to build community and immerse themselves in Weber's culture of service. As a school, we are proud of our continued work expanding our community outreach, community engagement, and community service programs. Our grade-level service days give our students a tremendous opportunity to translate empathy into action with maturity, commitment, and seriousness of purpose.
