Jewish Graduate Organization
The Jewish Graduate Organization (JGO) is cultivating the next generation of Jewish leaders by building community, strengthening identity, and connecting graduate students and young professionals to purpose-driven leadership opportunities.
- Jewish Life
Through national conferences, campus programming, mentorship, and thought leadership, JGSI empowers Jewish graduate students to lead with confidence — in their careers, communities, and beyond. Their work bridges faith, values, and impact, creating space for connection and growth during a pivotal life stage.
We align on the belief that leadership flourishes when it’s grounded in meaning, identity, and service. Together, we’re investing in young Jewish changemakers who are poised to shape the future with courage, clarity, and conviction
