MEMBERS CIRCLES

Connect your professional work with an inviting Jewish community

WHAT ARE OLAM MEMBERS CIRCLES?

Members Circles provide an immersive cohort experience for Jewish professionals working in international development, humanitarian aid, and global service. Through a series of meetings, participants build relationships, exchange ideas and skills, and expand their professional and Jewish networks.

OLAM has hosted in-person Members Circles in Washington, DC and London, and a virtual Circle with participants from diverse corners of the globe.

What do we do in Members Circles?

Sharing, learning, connecting around the work you do and the issues you care about

Meeting with high-level international development experts

Learning about the work of Jewish international development and aid organizations

Jewish learning and reflections on global issues, and joint celebrations of Jewish holidays

Deepening knowledge of OLAM, it's values, and global network, and gaining access to exclusive OLAM programming

Members Circle participants have been based in 12 countries, and have worked at: The World Bank, USAID, CARE, Palladium, Inter-Agency Development Bank, Women for Women International, Social Impact, and more.

What Circle Participants are saying

“This opportunity would not have been an option without OLAM. NALA’s network increased drastically from the visit, and it completely changed the way I think about engaging with the Jewish community in North America. The encounters really helped ‘fill my battery’ after an intense period that left me somewhat drained.”

I really enjoyed meeting other Jews who are also trying to do great things in our world. It is comforting to know that I am not alone. It's also such a great opportunity to share resources, knowledge, and ideas in a stress-free environment.

Shoshanna Cohen, Virtual Circle

I greatly appreciated the opportunity to be part of a community, and I look forward to keeping in touch with several of the people I met through the Members Circle.

Susan Moinester, Virtual Circle

I find it personally motivating to connect my work in this way to the Jewish community, which is extremely important to my identity.

Bari Rabin, Virtual Circle

Given the situation in Israel today, on a personal level, it was highly beneficial to be in a Jewish space.
