Episode Synopsis

How are nonprofits and other community organizations accompanying adolescents and college students as they navigate their studies during a pandemic? We are so lucky to be joined this week by Elliot Karp, CEO of Hillels of Georgia, to talk about his work in supporting students on their journey through college. He talks about the importance of creating communities with college students and shares examples from his work supporting Jewish students through the pandemic. He talks about the importance of listening to students rather than prescribing solutions to create moments of authentic engagement. And he concludes reflecting on “Tikkun Olam” - a Hebrew phrase meaning “to repair the world” - and our common call to support others in building the common good.
