LJY-Netzer, the youth movement of Liberal Judaism, has teamed up with vInspired – the UK’s leading youth volunteering charity providing 14-25 year olds with volunteering and social action opportunities.

Through this partnership, LJY-Netzer has become a vInspired Awards provider.

The youth movement now has the ability to certificate the amazing work that its leaders do on events and in the wider community.

The first recipient is LJY-Netzer movement worker Sam Alston, who did 100 hours of volunteering to gain the top vInspired Awards. Other madrichim (leaders) on Kadimah summer camp will also qualify for the same prize.

There are four different vInspired Awards, which are given dependent on the number of hours volunteering each young person does.

Sam said: “It is an honour to receive this award, but even more important is the new partnership between LJY-Netzer and vInspired which will further encourage young Liberal Jews to use their time to help others.”

Note: Since this article was written LJY-Netzer leader Ossie Goldhill was also granted a V100 award. There are 9 other leaders who are working towards their V100 awards at the moment.
