Zelikow School of Jewish Nonprofit Management

At the Zelikow School we are creating a different future by educating leaders. Founded in 1968 as the School of Jewish Communal Service to address the need for more highly trained and Jewishly committed professionals in Jewish life. Over the past 40 years the Zelikow School has earned a distinguished reputation as a premier center for the education of Jewish professional leaders. Our project-intensive curriculum requires creative problem solving that engages you hands-on in the work that will shape your practice as a professional in nonprofit management. We believe you learn by doing. Working side-by-side with faculty who are experienced practitioners, as a Zschool student you will develop the nonprofit “know how” to take a leadership position in an existing Jewish organization or launch your own.
