Review for Join for Justice, Boston, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

JOI's community organizing training fellowship jumpstarted my entry in the world of organizing and provided an education far deeper and more impactful than years of graduate school could have. The reach of the organization's work is exponential, each of the leaders it trains goes on to create positive change for communities across the country, within and beyond the Jewish community. I plan to continue supporting JOI into the future, because it gave (and continues to give) so much to me.

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

the high quality training given by Program Director Catherine Bell and all the many trainers in JOI's network.

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

it has had a deep and (i anticipate) long lasting effect on my life and those I'll touch through my future work.

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

exceptionally bright, talented, passionate, and all around fantastic.

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

truly train an entire generation of Jewish leaders for social change and transform the American Jewish community.
