Ambassadors
are also committed to JDC’s “smart giving” principles: the importance of
combining grassroots innovation with accountability; the ability to leverage funds and build sustainable programs; and the goal of creating scalable
solutions and system-wide impact.
WHAT
WE DO
Ambassadors’
programs and symposia offer
first-hand insight into some of the most innovative solutions to global poverty
and disaster relief today.
International trips give a highly personal perspective on daily life for
Jews and others in more than 70 countries in which JDC operates. There is no
better way to understand a country than to be invited into the homes of local
people, and no more meaningful way to demonstrate the value of global Jewish
community than to interact with changemakers who are building and sustaining it
around the world.
Impact Circles, for those interested in hands-on involvement, delve
deeply into some of the strategic questions that guide program development and
global best practices.
In
addition, Society members
participate in JDC Board meetings and receive opportunities for personalized
JDC travel and learning.
