We live in a world facing remarkable challenges, but within the Jewish community there is enormous potential to face and fix the world around us… The Jewish Federation’s PresenTenseLA Fellowship for Social Entrepreneurs is built around an idea for how we can unleash our community’s potential to solve these problems: By tapping the talents and passions of everyday professionals in our community, we can help accelerate young, entrepreneurial change agents to transform our communities and create a better future. Over the course of five months, PresenTenseLA give 12 social entrepreneurs the leadership skills, business tools and connections – through a Jewish lens – to turn their ideas into ventures which will engage, inspire, and transform the Los Angeles Jewish community.
