Twenty Years of Leadership: Diller Alumni Reflect Across Generations
We invited fellows from cohorts five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years out to reflect on how Diller shaped their leadership, Jewish identity, and sense of responsibility, both then and now. Across different stages of life, one truth rings clear: Diller doesn’t end when the program does.

Appreciation

Previous Next
Hannah P.

I was interested in joining PLF to be able to connect with other Jewish teens, since there aren’t a lot at my school. My participation has taught me that reaching out to people I don’t necessarily know that well or are friends with doesn’t have to be something bad or nerve racking. In fact most people are extremely willing to help and it brought a sense of community that made me really happy.

-Hannah P.

Jakub L.

The Social Innovation Fellowship was an overall great experience. I learned many new skills that I will use later in life. I also made new friends and was able to connect with the community and my Judaism through the program.

-Jakub L.

Nancy Solomon

I’m happy to say I’m learning and growing as a parent of two teens, with 4Front’s support. Thank you for offering this pertinent network during this critical time in all of our lives.

My experience in the Social Innovation Fellowship was amazing. I learned so many new skills about entrepreneurship and life that I can use in the future.
