Keshet combines direct service to GLBT Jews in Greater Boston with local and national advocacy for full inclusion by Jewish institutions, especially schools. That's a winning and effective combination.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... Gay-straight alliances forming at Jewish day schools.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... Idit's commitment to organizing for change.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Fun, committed, smart, experienced.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Replicate its model in more cities
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... I lived in Boston so I could participate in Keshet's programs there.
- If I ran this organization, I would... Train all the staff in community organizing principles (which may already be the case!)
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Continued homophobia and attracting more funding.
MY ROLE: I was a Professional with expertise in this field & My organization granted to Keshet for its groundbreaking work to promote GLBT inclusion at an institution-wide level in Jewish communal organizations
