Our VisionTo develop ethical, impactful Jewish young adult leaders to ensure a vibrant Jewish community and make the world a better place.Our MissionTo empower and engage Jewish young adults through leadership development and community-building.The Problem We’re SolvingThe Jim Joseph Foundation study “Unlocking the Future of Jewish Engagement” states that “…. Only one in eight (Jewish young adults) report feeling very connected. For many, a yawning gap exists between current levels of Jewish engagement and their professed desire for a Jewish community or a rekindling of positive past Jewish experience.”J Leaders believes that an important avenue for engaging and empowering Jewish young adults is impactful leadership development delivered through a Jewish lens AND building a community founded on understanding and belonging.
