Thousands of people learn with JFCS each year through trainings for mental health professionals and teachers; parenting workshops; internships for teens, seminars for older adults on the issues of aging and caregiving, and more.
Many of JFCS’ experienced staff are leaders in educating others in their fields of expertise and in conducting evidence-based research to advance their work.
Community members, lay leaders, New Leaders Fellows, and staff participate in leadership training as well as seminars focused on Jewish values with Shalom Hartman Institute.
Additionally, the JFCS Holocaust Center is a primary resource for Holocaust and genocide education in California and is a global leader in combating antisemitism, racism, and prejudice. Through educational programs, seminars, and university and high school fellowships, they engage thousands of students annually, inspiring the next generation of upstanders.
