Greening Fellowship

With the support of UJA-Federation of New York, Isabella Freedman is launching the Jewish Greening Fellowship to reduce the carbon footprints of our network agencies and place the environment high on the agenda of every agency that participates. Our goal is to generate a meaningful Jewish response to global climate change.

The Fellowship provides intensive training and ongoing support over the course of 18 months to a cohort of fellows from each of twenty participating network JCCs and summer camps. Fellows will gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to become change agents within their organizations and communities. Fellows will reach out within their agencies to build Greening Partnerships with other key staff and lay leaders, who can also attend Fellowship training sessions relevant to their interests and work. At the same time, they will be part of a community of peers that will provide them with friends, networking possibilities and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Agencies will benefit from their Fellows opportunities to share best practices and programmatic ideas and to troubleshoot obstacles and challenges.
