Access to Power
The Access to Power Fellowship is a deep investment in the leadership of emerging Jewish organizers with disabilities. The Fellowship is a virtual 7-month experience open to Jewish young adults with disabilities (ages 20-39) who are organizing either professionally and as volunteers. Designed in partnership with leading disability organizations Sins Invalid, National Council on Independent Living, and Detroit Disability Power, Access to Power will make JOIN for Justice’s premier organizing training and coaching accessible in new ways. From Black liberation organizing to environmental justice, Access to Power will deepen Fellows’ impact in some of the most pressing movements of our time. Together, Fellows will hone their skills and deepen their grounding to build power and make change over the long haul.GeographiesBoston Metropolitan Area, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedEducation,Environment,Recycling,Water resources,Land resources,Health care clinics,Rehabilitation,Mental health care,Employment,Job counseling,Job training,Vocational rehabilitation,Sheltered employment,Food aid,Food banks,Nutrition,Housing development,Public housing,Housing for people with disabilities,Housing rehabilitation,Temporary accommodations,Homeless shelters,Housing services,Group homes,Developmental disability services,Antidiscrimination,Immigrants' rights,Ethnic and racial minority rights,Disabled persons' rights,LGBTQ rights,Diversity and intergroup relations,Voter education and registration,Ethnic studies,Public administration,Public finance,Civic participation,JudaismYoung adults,Jewish people,People with disabilities20–Clergy Leadership Organizing Project
The Seminary Leadership Project (SLP) builds a pipeline of Jewish rabbinical leaders that will help define the Jewish community’s contribution to social justice efforts across the country for decades to come. More than 750 rabbis, or 40% of clergy who graduate from any of the modern seminaries in the US, have participated in JOIN training through SLP. Alumni are in positions of increasing leadership around the country. The centerpiece of SLP is our cross-seminary course – a semester-long weekly course for rabbinical, cantorial, and Jewish education students from all of the NY seminaries, including Hebrew Union College (Reform), Jewish Theological Seminary (Conservative), Yeshivat Chovevei Torah (Orthodox-Men), Yeshivat Maharat (Orthodox-Women) and Yeshiva University (Orthodox-Men). We also offer intensive modular courses for rabbinical students to the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC) in Philadelphia and the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at the American Jewish University (AJU) in Los Angeles, as well as a semester-long organizing course for rabbinical students at Hebrew College in the Greater Boston area. These intensive, credit-bearing courses, train students in the fundamentals of community organizing, teaching in particular the interplay between building vibrant congregations and mobilizing them to organize for justice. The 18-month Clergy Fellowship trains cohorts of rabbis in the field in community organizing principles equipping them to build public relationships with leaders from other faiths, races, ethnicities, and incomes and engage their congregations in strategic and effective social justice campaigns in partnership with other communities. In 2015- 2016, in our inaugural cohort of the fellowship, we trained and mentored 39 rabbis representing 70,000+ congregants in cohorts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and the greater Washington, DC area. In late 2017, we launched the second round of the Clergy Fellowship, with 18 rabbis in cohorts across North Carolina, northern New Jersey, and Atlanta. In our 2021-2022 cohort, we are launching the Fellowship with 20 rabbis in Greater Miami and St. Louis. In each location, rabbis worked together on campaigns related to mass incarceration and/or gun violence.GeographiesDistrict of Columbia, USA;Los Angeles, CA, USA;Philadelphia, PA, USA;North Carolina, USA;New Jersey, USA;Atlanta, GA, USA;Miami, FL, USA;St. Louis, MO, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedEducation,Environment,Recycling,Water resources,Land resources,Health care clinics,Rehabilitation,Mental health care,Employment,Job training,Sheltered employment,Food aid,Food banks,Nutrition,Housing development,Public housing,Housing for people with disabilities,Housing rehabilitation,Temporary accommodations,Homeless shelters,Group homes,Developmental disability services,Antidiscrimination,Immigrants' rights,Ethnic and racial minority rights,Disabled persons' rights,LGBTQ rights,Diversity and intergroup relations,Voter education and registration,Entrepreneurship,Ethnic studies,Public administration,Public finance,Civic participation,JudaismConservative Jews,Orthodox Jews,Reconstructionist Jews,Reform Jews,Jewish people,Students,Young adults,LGBTQ people850–Jewish Organizing Fellowship
