Young Jewish Leadership Society

Welcome to the Young Jewish Leadership Society!

A vibrant space where high schoolers can make a difference, build essential leadership skills, and deepen their understanding and connection to Jewish values and heritage.

Club members will engage in meaningful volunteer projects, from cooking for seniors and the underprivileged to organizing toy drives and supporting children with special needs. They’ll delve into real-world issues like mental and emotional well-being, healthy relationships, Israel, antisemitism, and the role of Jewish identity today. Members will also be inspired by industry leaders from the business and entrepreneurship world, gaining valuable insights and tools for success.
