Vision Pittsburgh is a relationship‑based cohort for adults ages 22–45 that reflects how the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh strengthens Jewish life while also helping build a safer, more inclusive world through partnerships, civic engagement and mutual understanding.

Hosted through the Community Relations Council (CRC)—Federation’s community relations and public affairs arm—this cohort emphasizes the CRC’s work to:

  • Build harmonious relationships within and beyond the Jewish community
  • Promote understanding on issues affecting the Jewish community locally and beyond
  • Engage in public policy issues and education (through relationship‑building rather than rhetoric)
  • Support the State of Israel in a way that keeps relationships intact, grounded in values and lived experience

Audience fit: The Federation’s YAD (Young Adult Division) commonly centers this life stage; this cohort is built for the schedules, networks and leadership growth of adults 22–45. The ideal candidate will be an early- mid-career professional or graduate student.

By the end of 8 sessions + one trip to Harrisburg, participants will:

  1. Develop authentic connections with interfaith leaders and peers across cultural divides.
  2. Learn from local community leaders and elected officials how to bring the values of equity and inclusion into policy.  
  3. Practice bridge building dialogue skills to navigate difference, tension, and disagreement.
  4. Expand knowledge of Pittsburgh’s diverse communities through visits, hospitality, and learning.
  5. Build confidence to serve as bridge‑builders at work, in neighborhoods, and in civic spaces.
  6. Develop the skills and confidence to engage in interfaith dialogue and civic advocacy as informed members of the Jewish community.

Participation in Vision CRC requires a minimum annual pledge of $180 to the Annual Community Campaign for fiscal year 2027. If you are already a donor contributing at least $180 annually, your existing pledge satisfies this requirement. All pledge payments are due by December 2027.
