The Anti-Defamation League’s Glass Leadership Institute (GLI) is a nationally recognized leadership development program designed to give a select group of young professionals an up-close and personal view into the nation’s premier civil rights and human relations organization. This 10-month program serves as a comprehensive introduction to ADL and a chance to become part of an impressive circle of young professionals in the New England region.

The goal of the program is to provide a broad exposure to the Anti-Defamation League’s programs and resources and create a cadre of adults who will take on regional and national leadership positions in the ADL. Participants gain first-hand exposure to ADL’s activities and resources on the following:

  • Combating Anti-Semitism
  • Church / State Issues
  • Creating Anti-Bias Schools, Workplaces & Communities
  • Hate Groups & Extremism
  • Law Enforcement Resources, Support & Training
  • Legislative Initiatives and Advocacy
  • Security Awareness for Jewish Institutions and the Community
  • Support for Israel

What Makes a Glass Leadership Institute Participant?

The Glass Leadership Institute is made up of a specially selected group of individuals who are chosen by ADL and other community leaders, as well as past Glass Leadership Institute participants. Participants are chosen based on their demonstrated leadership qualities in the Jewish and general communities as well as their interest in social and political justice and civil rights issues.
