AJWS alumni can be found all over the United States – and increasingly, all over the world. Currently, regional program officers in New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. are collaborating with alumni to create vibrant local communities and to develop a range of educational and social programs, advocacy and service efforts, Shabbat and holiday celebrations, and personal and professional networking opportunities.
