The Selah Leadership Program, which trains leaders in leaders in Jewish and secular organizations to be effective change agents, recently completed its eighth program cohort - passing the 200-participant mark over the program's history!
Selah was fortunate to be one of 10 grantees of the Slingshot Fund, which provided a grant of $40,000 to support this latest group (the Boston City Cohort) and our alumni work. As part of Selah’s mid-year report to Slingshot, we were asked to create a short video highlighting our work in real time. Using a Flip camera, Selah staff captured some short interviews with Selahniks (our participants) in the Boston Cohort and the Network.
And, of course, we welcome to the Selah Network the 23 members of the recently completed Selah Boston Cohort! We are excited to expand the growing network of Boston Selahniks and to see the impact from this city’s collaboration.
