As an alum, you’ll receive emails from Avodah and fellow alumni through our global listserv and local regional listservs. The listservs offer you a virtual hub for continuing to develop yourself into a social justice leader, informed by Jewish values, who inspires the Jewish community to work toward a more just and equitable world.

The Alumni Mentorship Program is a 6-month program that matches one mentee and one mentor who have similar lived experiences or career paths. The mentor is typically further along in their career or life experience, making them an ideal person to guide and support their mentee through current challenges and opportunities.
