Yesod - Board Foundation Program

Building a new generation of leaders

Yesod is Hebrew for 'foundations'. Jewish Care’s Yesod Board Foundations Program has prepared over 75 participants to form a new generation of leaders to be the ‘foundations’ of the Jewish community.

Jewish Care has proudly  partnered with The Observership Program to broaden participants’ exposure to aspiring non-executive directors in the not-for-profit sector.

 

 

 

 

We are indebted to the Szalmuk-Singer family and Shelley Kline and Adam Joel for making the program possible with their generous support.

Yesod opened my eyes to the complex mix of skills, personality and experience that is needed to effectively govern a NFP board and opened doors to opportunities that I could never have otherwise accessed this early on in my career. I’m incredibly grateful to Jewish Care for providing this opportunity to me personally and for encouraging NFP directorship in the Jewish community as a whole.
