There’s no shortage of ways to get involved. From local learning opportunities to international travel excursions, there’s opportunities for everyone to dive in, give back, and connect.
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.

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.
