What is the LEAD Fellowship?

The New Yavneh LEAD Fellowship will build on your leadership skills developed in your first year of the Yavneh Fellowship. It aims to create a group of like-minded individuals while customizing the experience to the cohort’s unique interests and aspirations.

What does LEAD stand for?

These four values will be our guiding principles in the development and creating of this brand new program. Together we will learn and use new skills to address current challenges facing our communities.
