The Jewish Changemakers Fellowship is a three-week online leadership experience, July 6–July 24, free of charge for current and aspiring Jewish leaders, 20–25 years old, focusing on career development, networking, and making a difference in the community. Young adults seeking meaningful Jewish experiences over the summer, but with more limited opportunities due to the global pandemic, will earn $500 when they complete the program requirements.
The entire experience is guided by the public narrative leadership model developed by Harvard professor Marshall Ganz, which brings values to action through three different types of narratives: Story of Self, Story of Us, and Story of Now. Leading—particularly during these challenging times—requires understanding our own individual story, our collective story and what’s happening in the world today.
Each day of Changemakers is guided by a big question. For example: How do I find my authentic voice as a leader? What is my role in the story of the Jewish people? How might we address the urgency of this moment?
The application takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and is available at www.jewishchangemakers.org. The application process closes on Friday, June 26 at 5 pm.
