is a non-profit organization that works with high school and college-age students in the United States, sending each of the participants to a community in one of nine Latin-American countries over the course of 4-8 weeks.

​Cards for Hospitalized Kids (CFHK) is an internationally recognized nonprofit charity that distributes uplifting, handmade cards to Children’s Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses in all 50 states. Doctors provide the medicine and CFHK aims to provide hope, joy & magic through cards. CFHK was founded in 2011 by a high school student named Jen Rubino whose own experiences a "hospitalized kid", undergoing 20+ surgeries, inspired her to start CFHK to help others.

Using CFHK’s card-making guidelines, individuals and groups (schools, companies, churches, teams, etc) donate their time + creativity to make cards and send them to CFHK for distribution. CFHK has also been fortunate to have companies such as Erin Condren, Gallery Collection, Hershey and others donate supplies & materials to further our mission. In addition to cards, CFHK also provides autographs from celebrity and athlete supporters. People of all ages and walks of life have come together under this common cause of spreading strength and smiles to sick kids.

The EDCJCC’s Youth Action Institute (YAI) is the place for youth and teens in the DC area to become socially responsible, civically engaged leaders who are motivated to solve today’s most pressing challenges.

Through fun, engaging volunteer opportunities that address issues like climate change, homelessness, and food insecurity, teens will grow their leadership skills, earn service-learning hours, and make new friends.

As with everything we do, the YAI is guided by Judaism’s imperative to heal the world and bring about social change. Though the Youth Action Institute is rooted in Jewish values, you DO NOT have to be Jewish to participate. This is a secular program with a religious affiliation.

The YAI is targeted to youth ages 11-18.

Tutoring, educational and cultural enrichment, family support and translation services and recreational sports are all offered.
