The committees

Eleven ways to carry this.

Nivneh has organized eleven committees to serve Partner Advocates and singles throughout the process. If you have a skill, there is almost certainly a committee that needs it.

Apply to a committee

Networking

Organizing opportunities for Partner Advocates to present their singles to shadchanim and other appropriate contacts, creating meaningful visibility and expanding dating opportunities for singles.

Resource

To ensure that singles are aware of all relevant events, opportunities and resources, and to help encourage attendance.

Coaching

To help singles gain confidence and skills for productive dating throughout the whole process.

Shabbos

To match up Shabbos placements for singles who want to go away for Shabbos or be placed for a Shabbos meal.

Fundraising & Financial Aid

Raising money for the organization to subsidize the expenses.

Best Self

To help girls present their best selves in the shidduch world. This may include guidance and support with fashion, makeup, hair, nutrition, and other presentation related enhancements that can help a person feel confident and put their best foot forward.

Resume

Review and improve shidduch resumes to provide shadchanim and families with clear, authentic and relevant information.

Picture

To ensure each girl presents her best self through high quality, natural, and flattering photos.

Get Together

To create enjoyable activities and social opportunities for singles to spend time together, meet new people, and build meaningful connections and friendships.

Gift

To coordinate and arrange thoughtful gift gestures recognizing acts of kindness, meaningful contributions, and personal milestones within the shidduch initiative.

Chizzuk

To offer both practical and emotional support while navigating the shidduch process, and to inspire, uplift, and encourage emunah and hope for the single and her family.

The committee structure is modeled on the one that made Project Nivneh’s Hurricane Sandy relief effort effective.
