JDC Next Generation and Service Initiatives
JDC seeks to inspire young adults to see Jewish collective responsibility as as call to action; to understand global Jewish peoplehood as something to take responsibility for and not just to participate in.
We are holding events and building local communities in New York, Boston and beyond. For information about events in your community, email tahliaos@jdcny.org.

Serve Abroad
JDC's Jewish Service programs offer young Jews the opportunity to directly engage with the work of the largest Jewish humanitarian aid organization in the world. Through meaningful volunteer projects directly connected to JDC's global programs, participants meet real needs and gain an understanding of pressing Jewish and humanitarian challenges worldwide.
JDC offers different service opportunities-from yearlong placements and 8-10 week opportunities to weeklong trips for undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals.

Ralph I. Goldman Fellowship in International Jewish Service
The Ralph I. Goldman Fellowship in International Jewish Service is JDC's premier opportunity for young Jewish leaders. It is a one-of-a-kind, paid, professional development opportunity to live and work in overseas locations where JDC is active. Only one fellowship is awarded annually, providing a rare, inside look at JDC's global operations through individualized assignments, shaped by one's skills, interests, and the critical needs of communities overseas.
