The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles Community Engagement


We promote the vibrancy and security of our Jewish homeland with our friends and neighbors in Los Angeles. We train high school students to become advocates for Israel while building community through teen events.	We build a better Los Angeles by sending volunteers into LAUSD elementary schools to help struggling readers, fight to end hunger and offer volunteer experiences that connect our community to pressing social issues of our day.	We train professionals to become civic leaders based on Jewish values, build relationships with candidates for office and elected officials, and host trips for civic leaders to learn about and connect with the Land of Israel.
