Review for Keshet Inc, Jamaica Plain, MA, USA
I know about Keshet on an organizational level because one of my friends is a staff person there. Keshet does a great job of offering leadership opportunities for new staff and within its membership base. It recognizes the importance of cultivating the leadership of its members as a way to maintain its long-term sustainability. They also offer diverse programming - from GLBTQ advocacy work to community building through Jewish practice and social outings. They are always busy on some project!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
hire more community organizers.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
hearing about how seriously it takes its membership base and how to include allies to GBLTQ folks in the mix.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
gregarious and detail-oriented.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
create a formal model for doing GBLTQ Jewish inclusion work nationally and lead trainings across the country; partner with more organizations and join coalitions to fight discrimination on a national scale; put more resource into Jewish GBLTQ youth.
Ways to make it better...
I had actually turned myself out to an event! I still want to!
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
expanding to fit the needs of the GBLTQ Jewish community with a small budget.
