AJC Empowers Parents and Caregivers
AJC supports parents and caregivers in making their children’ s educational settings safer and more inclusive for Jewish and pro-Israel students. We provide resources, tools, and trainings to help parents successfully advocate with school administrators, navigate conversations with faculty members, and foster community and allyship within the school’ s ecosystem.
AJC Empowers a New Generation of Jewish Leaders
AJC engages high school and college students as well as young professionals to help build a new generation of proud advocates for the Jewish community and Israel.
Young Jews bear the brunt of rising antisemitism, and that hate grew more pervasive and more vicious following Hamas’ atrocities against the Israeli people on October 7. AJC works to educate and empower young activists, so they are ready to combat anti-Jewish hate, defend Israel, and advocate for themselves and the Jewish people.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
AJC helps teens develop strong Jewish identities and prepares them to stand up for Israel and against antisemitism, particularly in the aftermath of October 7.
Central to our work with teens is our innovative and award-winning Leaders for Tomorrow( LFT) program, which gives students the tools and information needed to understand and articulate the important issues impacting world Jewry today. It also provides them with the leadership skills and confidence to advance these issues in high school and throughout their lives. LFT boasts more than 2,000 alumni across the United States.
