CJP's PresenTense Boston Fellowship unites young Jewish innovators in their 20s and 30s who are 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 2011 Fellows will each bring a vision and a passion to solving social problems and building ventures that engage, leverage, and inspire the Boston Jewish Community.

In a five-month program based in Boston, the PresenTense Boston Fellows are provided with the tools and connections 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 2011 Fellowship will culminate in a Launch Night on May 26, 2011 where Fellows will pitch their projects to potential funders, collaborators and other VIPs from the Boston Jewish community and beyond, in celebration of the growing community of innovation in Jewish Boston.
