YI Sharon Volunteer Portal
Welcome to the YI Sharon volunteer portal! The goal is create a single "clearinghouse" for all of the volunteer opportunities the shul has to offer (and there are many!). The shul is almost entirely a volunteer-run organization and every little bit helps. There is something for everyone, and if you have ideas of your feel free to submit them as well!

Community Support Liaison, JF&CS
Hi, my name is Talia and I am a social worker from JF&CS, as well as a member here at Young Israel of Sharon. In my JF&CS role as Community Support Liaison, I work with synagogues to help connect their members with resources for themselves and their families. JF&CS offers resources that serve the community across the lifespan from infancy to end of life. Types of resources and support include but are not limited to financial assistance, mental health, case management, disability services, food insecurity, domestic abuse, aging support, and referrals to services. In addition to working with individuals and families, I work to facilitate meaningful and engaging programming for the communities I serve. Please reach out anytime. I would love to connect with you.
