LEADERS FOR TOMORROW
Leaders for Tomorrow( LFT) is AJC’ s year-long leadership program that empowers Jewish high school students to combat antisemitism, engage meaningfully within their communities, and advocate for the Jewish people and Israel on campus and beyond.
This year, AJC San Diego had its first ever LFT cohort. LFT prepares students for tough conversations about antisemitism and Israel, both in high school and later in college. Graduates developed and pitched Advocacy Projects, designing and implementing initiatives that advocate for the Jewish people and Israel.
I am grateful that LFT taught me so much about being a Jewish advocate.
