ACCESS D.C.

Empowering Today’s Young Jewish Leaders

ACCESS D.C. empowers young Jewish professionals to engage with the world’s foremost politicians, interfaith partners, and cultural leaders. We encourage and enable Jews in their 20s and 30s to develop strong relationships with these key contacts so that they will be able to advocate on behalf of the Jewish community here in Washington, D.C., and around the world.
