• Domestic Missions and Experiences: An advocacy mission focused on JFNA’s work in Washington, DC. A civil rights mission in Alabama. Learning about the full breadth of the North American Jewish community in Mexico City. A Cabinet Shabbaton in Los Angeles. Those are just a few examples of the layered development approach that meaningfully connects members to communities across the national movement.
• Distance Learning: Members have opportunities to participate in virtual learning throughout the year, building on the curriculum delivered through in-person experiences.
• Mentorship and the Alumni Network: All Cabinet members have the opportunity to engage with Cabinet alumni during and after the program when they join a distinct group of 4,000-plus former members representing 195 communities across North America. More than 60 percent of the JFNA Board of Trustees are Cabinet alumni.
• Applied Local Leadership: For the first three years, Cabinet members will use the knowledge and skills they gain in an applied setting on the local level. During years 4 and 5, they will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned to make a positive impact on their Federation.

Cabinet attracts the best and brightest—individuals seeking to enrich their lives and the Jewish community by becoming leaders in a global philanthropic movement.

Applications for new members are open each year from March – June.
