the journey to becoming a Jewish changemaker starts now
The 2022 Jewish Changemakers program will be divided into two sessions that focus on career development, networking, and making a difference in the community.
The intensive is organized by a three-part framework designed to foster the individual principles that, together, make a strong community leader. Week by week, we will challenge you to translate values into action, ultimately creating a cohesive practice you can utilize beyond the intensive.
