Empowering Young Leaders

Our commitment to the pursuit of justice and providing meaningful opportunities for our high school students is unwavering. To that end, we are excited to launch the RAC Social Justice Academy—our new program for the 2020-2021 year to offer meaningful, fun and actionable Jewish social justice education in a virtual setting.

RAC teen fellowship programs are learning intensives in community organizing, designed to equip our youth leaders with the skills to create change in their home communities. Through our fellowships, high schoolers connect with other social justice leaders from across the country and learn lifelong skills applicable to any issue they are passionate about. The Fellowships are the perfect next step after L’Taken or the Social Justice Academy (but not always a pre-requisite.)

At L’Taken, teens from across North America converge on Washington, DC for four days of advocacy and action. Discuss how the Reform Movement applies Jewish perspectives to mobilize around issues

The Legislative Assistant Program is a year-long fellowship for recent college graduates interested in Judaism, social justice, and policy. LAs are at the heart of every aspect of the Reform Movement's social justice work.
