Leaders for
Tomorrow
AJC has announced the launch of
Leaders for Tomorrow (LFT) in
Metro Detroit. With the addition
of Detroit, AJC’
s LFT program
will be in 14 cities nationwide.
LFT is a leadership develop-
ment opportunity that enables
young Jewish leaders to develop
skills to advocate on behalf of
the Jewish people, Israel and
human rights around the world.
Graduates of LFT serve as pos-
itive change agents for their
peers and community and enter
college with the knowledge and
confidence to engage in ongoing
dialogue regarding anti-Semitism
and Israel.
LFT consists of seven inter-
active sessions once a month
on Sundays beginning in Fall
2020. Topics covered will include
Israel’
s history as well as the
current Israeli political and cul-
tural landscape, challenges and
opportunities facing global Jewry,
and how to engage in thoughtful
advocacy on campus and beyond.
In addition to Detroit-based
sessions, LFT students will
be invited to participate in
AJC’
s LFT Advocacy Day in
Washington, D.C., in the Spring
of 2021. They will join LFT stu-
dents from around the country to
meet with government officials,
policy experts and thought lead-
ers as well as take part in advo-
cacy opportunities on Capitol
Hill. The expense of this trip is
fully covered through the LFT
program.
Admission to this program
is highly competitive and will
be limited to 25-30 students.
Participants will be selected
based on their application and
interview. Know a talented stu-
dent? Encourage them to apply
at AJC.org/LFTinfo or by email-
ing Hannah Goodman at
goodmanh@ajc.org. Applications
are due Sunday, June 28.
