JEWL: Jewish Executive Women's Leadership
This competitive program empowers an elite cohort of female Jewish graduate students, alumni, and young professionals--together with top female Jewish executives, attorneys and nonprofit leaders--through mentorship, leadership training, education, and community service. In this way we will help close the gender gap in lay leadership in the Jewish community and cultivate the next generation of Jewish women executives, lay leaders, and philanthropists.

Participants meet for eight sessions featuring unparalleled access to an exclusive set of Jewish female leaders from both the executive and nonprofit worlds.

Session Topics:
  • Where Leadership, Judaism and Psychology Meet
  • The Power of the Feminine
  • Lead from Within: Your Personal Mission Statement
  • The Trajectory Toward Self-Mastery
  • Decision Making and Growth Through Adversity
  • Key Traits of Jewish Leadership

The program includes group-building activities and exclusive social events with female mentors. Each participant will also embark on a community service volunteering project with the Jewish philanthropic organization of their choice, actualizing the lessons learned during JEWL into concrete impact.

Jewish Executive Women's Leadership is a proud winner of the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles' Cutting Edge Grant.
