Hillel House of Mitzvahs is a volunteer initiative that allows CEGEP and university students to do hands on volunteer work in a meaningful way. This initiative provides students with the chance to get involved in multiple different volunteer activities, working with a wide variety of populations and organizations. Hillel House of Mitzvahs aims to have at least 1 volunteer event each month throughout the school year. Hillel House of Mitzvahs is comprised of 7 rooms. These include: the Hillel pantry, the Hillel closet, the Hillel playroom, the Hillel kitchen, the Hillel bedroom, the Hillel family room and the Hillel backyard. Each volunteer activity done corresponds to a room in the house. Since Hillel House of Mitzvahs does not require a large commitment from the volunteers, the volunteers have the opportunity to choose which events they would like to attend and participate in. In addition to helping those in need, Hillel House of Mitzvahs aims to empower the student volunteers by allowing them to formulate their own volunteer programs and work with populations they are interested in and implement these programs.
