The WJC Jewish Diplomatic Corps is the flagship program of the World Jewish Congress, under the vision and leadership of WJC President Ronald S. Lauder. This program empowers the new generations of outstanding Jewish leaders. We are a highly selective worldwide network of over 300 Jewish young professionals from 50 countries receiving opportunities, experience, and skills to impact Jewish interests through diplomacy and public policy.

Our objective is to represent and strengthen the Jewish communities, ensuring their strong voice in global aff¬airs today - and for decades to come. WJC Jewish Diplomatic Corps activities focus on advocacy on WJC core topics such as combating antisemitism, supporting Israel, protecting Holocaust legacy, strengthening Jewish unity, as well as safeguarding human rights and minority rights.
