1:30-2:30pm ET | 10:30-11:30am PT | 8:30-9:30pm IT We’re excited to launch JFN Venture Labs. In a departure from our usual program format, Venture Labs features a more explicit pitch. Organizations will each spend ten minutes offering a high-level overview of their work and making a direct call for support. The format ensures a variety of strategies, concise presentations, and tangible opportunities for engagement. In this inaugural session of JFN Venture Labs, you’ll meet three breakthrough initiatives curated by Rachel Sumekh and TEN: Together Ending Need. Each is tackling urgent challenges that define whether Jews on the economic margins can fully participate in Jewish life, and whether our community thrives as a whole. - A national platform connecting people to high-quality job training and career pathways.
- A housing initiative ensuring our most vulnerable community members have stability.
- A network making Jewish life accessible and welcoming for those facing financial insecurity.
Each presenter will offer a fast-paced pitch with a clear case for why this work matters. Whether you fund in human services or not, you’ll leave with a fresh perspective on how investing in people’s basic needs is an investment in the vitality and resilience of the Jewish future. | | | | |
