Jewish Changemakers Fellowship

Are you ready to be a changemaker?
If you’re a Jewish college student or a recent grad, 20-25, you now have an awesome opportunity. An online leadership development experience to expand your career, your network and, most importantly, your ability to affect positive change in your community and the world.

It just takes three weeks and your commitment.
15 hours a week from July 6-24. During that time, you’ll develop a service project working together with a cohort of your peers and the benefit of a group coach. You’ll also receive mentorship from a top professional in your field of interest and earn a valuable certificate for your resume — not to mention a $500 stipend for the work you’ve accomplished.

Each week builds on the next and covers a specific theme. Your experience is inspired by the three-part framework for Public Narrative — a leadership practice through which we translate values into action, weaving three stories into one.

The story of self:
personal and professional development

The story of us:
global Jewish community

The story of now:
service and advocacy
