The Commonwealth Jewish Council (CJC) is launching a new leadership programme for emerging Jewish and Christian leaders across the Commonwealth.
The programme brings together people who are already active in their communities and want to build stronger relationships across faiths. Over six weeks, participants will explore leadership, interfaith dialogue, and practical approaches to addressing challenges facing their communities.
Participants will also develop a small project that they can take back and run in their own community.
This programme is for emerging Jewish and Christian leaders in the Commonwealth who are already involved in community life and want to grow in their leadership.
Applicants might be:
Active in faith communities, charities, education, or civic work
Volunteers or professionals working with communities
Early-career leaders or people beginning to take on leadership roles
Participants are expected to take an active role in the programme and contribute to discussions thoughtfully and respectfully.
Those selected for the programme should be willing to:
Attend all six weekly sessions
Take part actively in group discussions and exercises
Engage openly and respectfully with people from different faith backgrounds
Reflect on their own leadership values and experiences
Develop and begin planning a small interfaith project in their community
Participants should also be prepared to set aside a small amount of time between sessions for reading, reflection, and project development.
