Q: What leadership opportunities are there for JSU now?

JSU is constantly creating meaningful opportunities for teens to grow as leaders, both inside and outside of school. Two of our flagship programs are the JSU Leadership Institute (JSU-LI) and the annual Presidents Conference.

JSU-LI unites exceptional Jewish teens into a fellowship of changemakers dedicated to shaping their future, their communities, and the world. Admission is highly selective—reserved for the top 2% of students in the JSU network. Fellows gain hands-on leadership experience and strengthen their skills through mentorship and Jewish learning. By creating and leading weekly educational programs that are engaging, immersive, and accessible, this global cohort inspires peers and brings Jewish values to life.

The Presidents Conference gathers JSU club presidents and leaders from across the U.S. and Canada for two powerful days of leadership training, skill-building, and deep engagement with pressing Jewish issues. Participants return to their schools with the tools, strategies, and inspiration to lead their JSU clubs toward a year of impact and success. Sign up at https://jsu.org/pc/
