LEADS is designed to introduce young professionals between the ages of 21-45 to the Young Leadership Division, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, and the greater Jewish community. This year’s LEADS program will be virtual, allowing for intimate and safe opportunities to connect with fellow participants and high-profile leaders in the Jewish community.
