LEADS is a five-session program for Jewish young adults ages 21-45 living in the Cleveland area. Together, the 2022 LEADS cohort will learn about how the Federation works to meet the needs of the entire Jewish community and how young professionals can shape the future of Jewish Cleveland.

The cohort will have the unique opportunity to visit Federation's local beneficary agencies, meet with senior professional and lay leadership, and network with like-minded peers who are invested in their Jewish community.

This year's cohort will be completely in-person with the goal to have more intimate conversations.
