Get connected.

The Young Adult Division (YAD) of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans is comprised of young adults in the Greater New Orleans area between the ages of 25-45.  If you are male or female, single or married, have a family, and/or work as a professional, there is a place for you.  Enjoy great programs, enticing events, educational opportunities and have lots of fun while you help improve lives and better our community. 
 
YAD works strategically to provide a gateway for Jewish young adults to connect to the New Orleans Jewish community and make a real difference through leadership development, targeted social programs, and by preparing young adults to become more active members of the Jewish community as future leaders and philanthropists.  To achieve its mission, YAD hosts social, volunteer and fundraising events each year to reach out to the broader Jewish community.

Getting involved with YAD New Orleans is an exciting way to meet other young professionals who share your values and interests.  Join us and become part of the next generation of caring, Jewish New Orleanians who are making a difference in our community--and having a blast doing it!  YAD has many avenues for you to get involved.

Leadership Development Happy Hour

June 2, 2011

On Thursday evening, June 2, twenty young leaders gathered in the Reception Room at 232 Lake Marina Ave. for heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks.  Guests heard from some of our current local leaders about ways to further get involved.  Tamara Jacobson, YAD Leadership Development Chair, greeted the group and talked about her role in the Jewish community as a Lion of Judah.  Amy Berins Shapiro spoke about her experiences as a leader throughout the Jewish community.  Shea Soll discussed National Young Leadership Cabinet and his role as a YAD Co-Chair.  Alan Franco, incoming Federation President, spoke about the meaning of the Jewish community and why young leaders should continue to support it and help it to flourish.
