National Young Leadership Cabinet

YAD Leadership Development

The National Young Leadership Cabinet of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) is a select group of men and women actively engaged in shaping the future of the Jewish community in North America, Israel and throughout the world. A dynamic force for change, Cabinet is made up of individuals who are distinguished by their volunteer and financial contributions to Jewish communal life and their personal leadership qualities.

Cabinet members go on to become national Chairs, Federation leaders, political office holders and Jewish community activists. Cabinet members serve as role models, educators, and leaders in their own communities and on the national level, imparting Jewish values by encouraging a knowledge of the Jewish past and a concern for the Jewish future.

Cabinet members receive training in solicitation, Jewish education, Israel advocacy, and other skills vital for serving as effective Jewish communal leaders. We have an outstanding and growing group of Cabinet members in Pittsburgh and look forward to adding to it. This program is supported by the Young Adult Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.
