Announcing NEXTGen Charlotte
New Year, New Look
The Jewish Federation is proud to an
nounce the iaunching of NEXTGen Chariotte
(formaiiy known as the Young Aduit Division
- YAD). Engaging the next generation of
young aduits through a rich variety of pro
grams has iong been one of the Federation’s
top priorities. Now, with the establishment of
NEXTGen Charlotte, we have a new platform
to attract, engage, and retain the next gener
ation of Jewish Charlotteans.
This new initiative and branding brings
together a variety of existing Federation pro
grams focused on young Jewish Charlot
teans, including the Bernstein Leadership
Group, PJ Library, Shalom Baby, and social
outings. More than simply a combination of
these efforts, we are developing an entirely
new model for building community within the
21- to 45-year-old age group, supported by a
range of new programs and initiatives.
Our goal is simple: Transformation. We are
working to make our community a vibrant and
meaningful home for young^Jews of every
age, a place where meaning can be found in
every facet of life, from professional to social,
leadership development to cultural and more.
Sound interesting? Buckle your seatbelts.
This is just the beginning.
Find Your Voice. Create Your Vision. Be
Part of NEXTGen Charlotte. ^
