Emerging Jewish leaders must be well-informed and surefooted in dealing with the issues of our time. That’s why ACCESS Chicago not only prepares Jewish leaders in their 20s and 30s to tackle these issues head-on, but also offers them a seat at the table to engage with political, diplomatic, and thought leaders.
What sets ACCESS Chicago apart is our advocacy work and our unparalleled contact with the more than 80 foreign consulates located in our city. ACCESS Chicago also maintains unique relationships with Chicago’s robust Greek and Latino populations. ACCESS leaders routinely engage with these and other intergroup partners to build mutually beneficial relationships.
Even beyond ACCESS Chicago’s relationships with diplomats and intergroup leaders, two series that run throughout the year enable ACCESS leaders to participate in intimate meetings and briefings with international and local experts. Coffee & Conversation and Cocktails & Conversation give Chicago’s young professionals the knowledge and experience they require to play an active role in fighting antisemitism and extremism, standing up for Israel, and strengthening the global Jewish community.
