Leatid Europe is one of JDC’s longest-running leadership initiatives, training over 700 lay and professional leaders from 70 communities and organizations. Most of the new generation of lay and professional leaders in Europe have benefited from its seminars, management courses, planning sessions, and in-service training.

Junction, an initiative of the JDC, the Schusterman Foundation, and YESOD, seeks to empower young Jewish adults and professionals to engage with the pan-European Jewish community by providing innovative international opportunities that connect them to each other and to meaningful, relevant, and forward-looking Jewish spaces.

The JDC Europe Community Initiative Fund encourages Jewish communities and communal organizations to pilot new initiatives or advance key programmatic expansions. In certain cases, the Fund may support existing programs in their current scope. Through this Fund, JDC also hopes to strengthen relationships with communities that have had limited connections with JDC.
