Baltimore, MD - Nov. 19, 2025 - Mazel Tov to The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore’s newest Young Leadership Council (YLC), class of 2027. This two-year program empowers emerging Jewish leaders, ages 29-39, to strengthen their leadership skills, expand their networks and make a difference by giving back to the Baltimore Jewish community.
Running through May 2027, these young adults will participate in monthly seminars designed to foster personal and community leadership growth. They gain in-depth understanding of The Associated and its network of nonprofit organizations, learn from and connect with leaders across the Jewish community and build lasting relationships with a cohort of emerging young leaders.
Past graduates of YLC have gone on to serve on boards and committees, launch meaningful community initiatives and hold key positions throughout the Baltimore Jewish community.
Here are three community members who are part of the Young Leadership Council. We hope you congratulate them if you see them.
