During this nine-month program, Fellows come together twice monthly to learn different models of putting values into action, for intimate conversations with leaders in Washington's Jewish and activist worlds, and for intensive study of Jewish texts and traditions. Two weekend retreats during the program deepen participants' skills and their sense of the Fellowship community. Participants leave the Fellowship with skills in community organizing, leadership, activism, grassroots fundraising, and other important skills, better equipped to pursue their own volunteer work and careers in the social justice field.

Jeremiah Fellows are:

• Dynamic and engaged young Jews (approximately ages 25-35)
• Already volunteer leaders or have leadership potential
• Passionate about making our community better by learning about and acting on local justice issues
• Actively interested in building community
• Committed to using skills gained through the Fellowship
