National Young Leadership Cabinet

National Young Leadership Cabinet is Jewish Federations’ elite leadership-training program for people ages 30-45. It includes individuals seeking to enrich their lives and the Jewish community by becoming leaders within a global philanthropic movement.

Cabinet has a curriculum that’s aligned with your advancement. Each year builds on the skills and knowledge you’ve acquired during the previous one and takes you to the next level in your training.

Cabinet is the only Jewish leadership program where members are not only taught the skills they need to be successful but are given the chance to put those skills into action. In fact, Cabinet is the primary pipeline for leadership across major Jewish organizations. Members often go on to long-term senior level leadership at both the local and national levels, within Federation and throughout the Jewish world.
