JCRC’s borough-based anti-hate Fellowships equip local leaders with the skills, tools, and connections needed to respond effectively—building stronger relationships across differences and fostering resilience in the face of division.
These fellowships are part of an initiative led by the Center for Shared Society at the Jewish Community Relations Council of NY, in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes and trusted community partners including the Staten Island JCC, Riverdale Y, and Commonpoint Queens. Fellowships meet in person throughout the boroughs roughly every three weeks from January-June.
