Testimonials

"I spent a summer interning with the WJC in 2018 working as an Executive Office Intern in their global headquarters located in NYC. During my time there I got to work closely with almost every person in the office, all of whom were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always eager to help me learn something new. From learning about daily operations of this world wide organization, to participating with social media campaigns, and even being able to practice research skills, my experience working with the CEO and all of his staff was something I will always be grateful for."

At WJC I got invaluable experience working with partners around the world to combat antisemitism, including making a tangible difference in the US by helping pass the Never Again Education Act. I am endlessly thankful for the experience and mentors I gained back then and continue to benefit from today.
