NCJW Minnesota

Thank you for supporting NCJW Minnesota through Give to the Max Day!

The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.

History

From our founding in 1893, NCJW has been defined by our advocates’ commitment to and belief in education, advocacy, and community service. Our 60 sections, made up of local advocates in 30 states, are our history and our future. Sections help write local and state-wide legislation, some of which later becomes a model in other states or at the federal level; train in the art of community organizing and power-building; lead in opening dialogue on any number of issues of importance to their populations; and run some of the most impressive and relied upon community service projects in the country. Because of our sections, NCJW is distinguished as a network that can build bridges and maintain dialogue through hardship.

Sections in Minneapolis and St Paul were established in 1894 and in 2016, the two metro area sections merged to become NCJW Minnesota. We have, and continue, to affect change through an extensive network of partnerships with other community organizations fighting for similar causes. 

Thank you for keeping your faith in the future and belief in action by investing in our work. We pledge to keep working for progressive, positive change.     

NCJW Minnesota Goals:

• Promote equity through community service
• Promote social justice through coalition building and advocacy
• Empower our NCJW network to be progressive change agents
