Presidents Conference

Founded in 2021, the Presidents Conference gathers JSU club presidents and leaders from schools across America and Canada for two immersive days of transformative leadership training, critical skill building, and understanding serious Jewish issues. Both days of the conference blend educational and social activities to ensure students learned from established professionals as well as one another. When it ends, teens return to their schools empowered with the tools, ideas, and projects necessary to lead their JSU clubs toward a year of success.
