Education

The NCJW Leadership Training Program, facilitated by NCJW members and other leadership experts, provides participants the opportunity to reflect on their strengths, develop skills, explore leadership through a social justice lens, and build and strengthen connections. At the conclusion of the training, graduates apply their knowledge by leading or participating in a local NCJW project.

The inaugural program, launched in 2019, included eleven women, ages twenty-something to seventy, with a broad mix of volunteer, leadership, and NCJW experience. Many of these women have assumed leadership positions in the Section including serving on the Board and championing local initiatives. The 2020 program, launched just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, moved “online” and built on the success of the first year. The eleven graduates have taken on a variety of community service and advocacy and education projects.

Speaker Series
In May 2019, the section launched its inaugural Speaker Series. We continue our mission to educate and inspire NCJW members and others by hosting webinars that promote discussions about timely and relevant topics such as political corruption, sex discrimination, police reform and so much more.
