JPAC STUDENT LEADER SCHOLARSHIP FUND

JPAC launched the JPAC Student Leader Scholarship Fund in 2017 to allow Jewish student leaders from all California Universities to attend JPAC Advocacy Day for free.  In 2017, five outstanding Jewish student leaders from UCLA and CSUN attended Advocacy Day in Sacramento through the scholarship fund.

Here is what they had to say abut their experiences:

“JPAC Advocacy Day gave me the opportunity to re-connect with my representatives in Sacramento and to learn more about how the Jewish community can play an active role in fighting for our immigrant communities and against identity-based hatred.”

“JPAC’s Advocacy Day was a meaningful learning and leadership development opportunity for our community’s student leadership at UCLA. I enjoyed learning more about JPAC’s leading role in advocating for California’s most vulnerable populations and established meaningful relationships with community partners who we will continue to work with at UCLA. Serving as a group leader during lobby visits was a personal highlight of the conference.”

“It was incredible to see the depth and breadth of JPAC’s relationships with policy makers — including but not limited to Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, Senator Anthony Porantino and a staffer from the office of Assemblymember Shirley Weber to discuss legislation related to immigration reform, protections for undocumented immigrants and intolerance targeting religious minorities. There is no more meaningful experience than being surrounded by a community of leaders committed to making this state a better place for all. ”
