Pursue: Action for a Just World

 

Pursue engages young people at the intersection where their Jewish values meet their passion for social justice, building a community that takes action to create social change. We offer a new opportunity to work together toward a just world within and beyond the Jewish community.

 

Pursue was founded in 2006 as the AVODAH-AJWS Partnership. With national and regional staff in New York, Washington D.C., and the Bay Area, Pursue works with AVODAH alumni, alumni of other Jewish service programs, the larger community of Jewish 20- and 30-somethings and like-minded organizations to build and strengthen the Jewish social justice movement through educational programs, networking events, leadership trainings, action opportunities, celebrations and more.

Testimonials

Pursue is really about creating a movement of social change domestically and internationally. By staying grounded in justice work that’s being done in San Francisco and abroad, it infuses me with a social justice spirit and way of thinking that I can bring to my clinical work, to my research, or into the classroom where I share it with other people. For me, remaining active with Pursue is a source of inspiration and “justice sustenance.”'
