Abstract:
This report examines the long-term impact of
the Break New Ground (BNG) Jewish service
learning initiative sponsored by UJA Federation
of New York. The initial evaluation
documented a short-term positive impact on
participants’ civic responsibility and Jewish
perspective on service. The follow-up research
explores the enduring impact of BNG on
alumni attitudes, intentions, and commitments
one year after their service experience. The
research relied on qualitative and quantitative
data through focus groups and online surveys
of alumni.
