  • ABOUT THE PROGRAM

    The Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando’s Jerome J. Bornstein Leadership Program is designed to develop future leaders for the Central Florida Jewish Community. Past graduates of the program have gone on to serve on boards and hold top leadership positions in Jewish organizations locally, nationally, and internationally. The yearlong program, which commences in February 2022, includes monthly in-depth sessions, each devoted to a different leadership skill; one overnight Shabbat retreat; and a group capstone project. 
  • EXPECTATIONS

    Participants must attend all sessions and retreats. A gift to JFGO’s Annual Campaign, at a level that is personally meaningful, is expected. Upon graduation from the program, each participant will announce involvement with his or her selection of a local Jewish organization at the board, committee, or volunteer level, depending on the individual and the needs of the organization. Participants who demonstrate exceptional leadership commitments and abilities may be eligible for certain subsidized travel opportunities under the Jewish Federation of North America’s Leadership Development umbrella.
  • CRITERIA

    Applicants must show leadership potential and a commitment to the Central Florida Jewish community; must have demonstrated civic or community engagement; do not plan to relocate out of Central Florida; and must complete an online application, which includes two references.
