Core to the mission of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles is developing and growing a movement of the community’s next generation of movers & shakers, board members, and change agents. The Community Leadership Institute (CLI) was created to cultivate forward thinking, highly effective, and philanthropic volunteer leaders for the Federation and our Los Angeles Jewish community organizations. Now more than ever, we need a vibrant and diverse network of emerging leaders to help us solve the complex challenges facing the LA Jewish community today and for the next 50 years.
CLI is a highly selective community leadership development program for passionate Jewish individuals committed to expanding and leveraging their capacity for impact across Jewish LA.
Over 15 months, this cohort-based program will provide CLIers with the opportunities to grow their leadership skills through a unique blend of facilitated curriculum, hands-on experiential learning, mentorship, high-access professional networking, and a trip to Israel. Alongside a network of other talented peers, participants graduate with a deepened understanding of how to lead systemic change and make positive impact through philanthropy and non-profit board service across Jewish Los Angeles.
Program components include:
- Opening Retreat
- Monthly Sessions
- Board or Committee Residency
- Mentorship
- Group Projects
- Immersive Israel Trip
