IMPACT: Emerging Leaders Fellowship
The “IMPACT: Emerging Leaders Fellowship” by B’nai B’rith International and the World Union of Jewish Students is a one-of-a-kind virtual fellowship program for Jewish students and young professionals worldwide.
Throughout the six-month program, 15-20 select fellows gain advocacy, diplomacy and civic engagement skills, expand their knowledge and become effective change-makers in their communities and the broader public sphere. Participants interact with high-level policy makers, NGOs and industry experts on issues ranging from anti-Semitism on campus and online, to media polarization, Holocaust remembrance and genocide prevention, Israel engagement, coalition building and Jewish pluralism and diversity.
We believe young people are essential voices in our communities, shaping not only the future, but the present. That is why we are proud to partner with the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS). WUJS is the central, global, democratically elected Jewish student leadership network, led by students for students. Since 1924, WUJS has served as an umbrella organization, uniting and representing independent Jewish student associations working in over 50 countries around the world.
