The CJP/PresenTense Boston Social Entrepreneur Fellowship brings together young Jewish innovators on the cutting edge of creativity: informal educators and community organizers, nonprofit managers and environmental activists, programmers and artists, biotech visionaries and Israeli advocates. The 2010 Fellows each bring a vision and a passion to solving social problems and building ventures that engage, leverage, and inspire the Boston Jewish Community.

The CJP/PresenTense Fellowship is a five-month program based in Boston that enables young, Jewish, socially-minded entrepreneurs to turn their envisioned projects into reality. The program includes skillbuilding sessions and intensive seminars to teach core entrepreneurial skills and proficiencies, mentorships from professional and lay leaders in the field, and coaching and peer workshops.

The 2010 Fellowship will culminate with a Launch Night on May 27, 2010 at City Year in Boston's South End, where fellows will pitch their projects to potential funders, collaborators and other VIPS from the Boston Jewish community and beyond, and celebrate a Jewish community of innovation in Boston.

The Fellowhsip runs from January - May and we will be soliciting applications for the 2011 program in the fall of 2010.
