Review for Institute for Curriculum Services, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

ICS is one of the most effective organizations I've come across - it is really making a difference in what American students learn about Jews, Judaism, and Israel. It has incredibly dedicated and talented staff people. I was shocked by a text that asked students to examine the claim that the Holocaust was a small scale purge of minorities. As a result of ICS efforts, the publisher agreed to remove that activity which legitimized Holocaust denial.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

hearing about changes made that improve the accuracy of textbooks

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

make it become its own 501c3

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

its effectiveness

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

amazing, dedicated, passionate, smart, and responsible leaders

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

grow to the next level, hire an executive director and other key positions, pay staff more competitive salaries.

Ways to make it better...

it had greater resources

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

the fact that many people don't realize that ICS is completely independently funded and does not receive money from JCRC or JCPA.
