advanced leadership

By training leaders from within communities, we build credibility country by country and ensure that our work is sustainable.

Project Kesher’s Advanced Leadership Training offers a Jewish-content based curriculum.  We prepare Jewish women and girls to take on major leadership roles in communities throughout the region.  The two-year program integrates academic, experiential and field training. 

Participants learn Jewish values and are trained to:

• Pilot projects
• Manage projects
• Facilitate substantive areas of programming
• Advocate at the local, regional and national levels
• Manage media relations
• Fundraise
• Secure resources 

Upon completion of the Advanced Leadership Training program, graduates continue to get support from Project Kesher staff and peer mentors through our on-line networking group. 

More than 600 of our graduates (many of them under the age of 30), have become professional and lay leaders in the Jewish communities in this region.
