Volunteer Opportunities

Get Involved: Volunteering & Committees

Volunteerism is a core value at Congregation Etz Chaim. We know you're busy and travel far to be part of our community. That's why we offer both ongoing committee roles and flexible project opportunities that work with your schedule. Whether you have an hour a month or want to be more deeply involved, your talents help strengthen our congregation and serve our broader community.
