Partner Guide

We’re thrilled that you are here!

You are part of an amazing partnership of over 200 Jewish organizations working together to strengthen their communities through civic engagement. Together, we are building a democracy in which Jews and all Americans can flourish.

To help get you off and running, we’ve created this Partner Guide to lead you through your first few days and weeks in the network. Don’t worry if you can’t get everything done in the recommended timeframe - we know how busy you are! But we encourage you to do as many of these things as possible – the more you do, the quicker you’ll be able to take full advantage of all the JPD has to offer.

We invite you to please reach out to us with any updates, ideas, or questions that arise as you make your way through this resource.
