ABOUT US

 

The LGBTQ Ambassadors program is an international initiative backed by The Aguda - The Association for LGBTQ+ Equality in Israel.

 

This one-of-a-kind virtual program brings together Jewish LGBTQ Young Professionals, 21+ years of age from all around the world in order to explore various aspects of LGBTQ leadership and activism, and bridge between Jewish LGBTQ+ peers globally. As LGBTQ Ambassadors you will become part of an exclusive and selected community of influencers who will gather for online/digital workshops, lectures and  training sessions led by some of today’s leading Jewish LGBTQ influencers and allies from around the world. 

 

If you are a Jewish LGBTQ+ influencer, leader, activist or ally, and take interest in exploring the potential impact as Jewish LGBTQ+ people - this is the place for you.
