Chag Pesach sameach! We would like to extend our warmest wishes to the Jewish community, as we begin celebrating Passover this weekend. May your Seders be filled with warmth, ritual and remembrance.

Shalom! For over 35 years, the Kohn Summer Internship program has molded the next generation of Bay Area Jewish leaders, and we are accepting applications for this summer. If you’re a Jewish college student and will be in the Bay Area this summer, watch the video below to hear directly from our incredibly talented 2020 Kohn Intern cohort about where they interned and what they accomplished. You'll have the chance to be placed at a Jewish nonprofit and polish your professiona...l skills.

"Last summer, 24 Jewish Bay Area college students participated in this invaluable, remotely led, paid work internship at a time when other organizations were forced to cancel theirs. Although students were physically separated from one another, the Kohn Internship program provided a meaningful opportunity to not only engage with one another socially but simultaneously build valuable professional skills and support local Jewish nonprofits." -Aryeh Fein, Jewish Community Outreach Senior Coordinator https://jewishfed.org/news/blog/spreading-light

"JVS helps SFMade.org connect to individuals who come from all walks of life. #Manufacturers in the #BayArea are one of the last remaining industries that are creating #career opportunities where a young person can start without having any experience, earn a wage well above minimum wage, and develop skills and grow over time. It’s one of the real sectors that can heal that divide." @BayAreaMFG @MFG:SJ #BayAreaMFG #MFGDay... #BayArea #UrbanManufacturing #Manufacturing See more

We are thrilled to announce SFMade.org as this year's Business Leadership Award Winner! The COVID-19 crisis has exposed the country's over-reliance on foreign supply chains, and we are already seeing a pivot to the strengthening of local supply chains. #Manufacturing has strong potential to re-hire and create new job opportunities for displaced workers, thus filling the gap left by other industries impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Now, more than ever, JVS and SFMade will in...tensify our work for people of color, women, and others with barriers to employment, and build intentional pipelines to quality jobs. Creating access to these jobs for our community members by our vibrant regional manufacturing ecosystem and in doing so, driving greater economic equity across the #BayArea. #BayAreaMFG #MFGDay20 #UrbanManufacturing #Manufacturing See more
