THE JDC GLOBAL LEADERS INITIATIVE

The Global Leadership Initiative (GLI) is an unparalleled, invitation-only leadership program for enterprising young Jews, in their late 20s to 30s to serve on JDC’s Board of Directors.

Through a 2-year board service term, GLI members gain experience and knowledge to become effective lay leaders and advocates for global Jewish issues and JDC.

GLI, founded in 2016, is an initiative of JDC Entwine and seeks to develop a critical mass of young leaders who can make a meaningful contribution and bring fresh perspectives to the organization.
