Tens of thousands of young Jewish adults are eagerly engaging in vibrant, personally meaningful Jewish experiences. We’re committed to making these experiences as widespread and relevant as possible.

At CLSFF, our vision is to inspire as many teens, college students and young adults as possible to live Jewishly and to find and create exciting modes of Jewish engagement for themselves and their peers. We want to reach these young people with a powerful message: that in their search for meaning, for relevance, for connections and direction, actively engaging in Jewish life offers an incredible wealth of opportunities.

We are broadening the reach and diversifying the appeal of Jewish life by creating and investing in programs, as well as supporting and partnering with institutions, organizations and initiatives, that:

• Engage individuals who currently lead—or have high potential to lead—the entrepreneurial and established Jewish organizations and communities;
• Provide infrastructure for recruitment, peer-to-peer engagement and follow-through for immersive and episodic experiences;
• Uphold a vision of a continuum of engagement that includes a web of Jewish activities and organizations across ages and geographies; and
• Create effective, cohesive and interconnected experiences for young Jewish adults.
