The Jewish After School Accelerator requires additional philanthropic partners to bring Jewish after-school programs to communities across the U.S.

In 2023, Jewish Kids Groups was awarded a seed grant from The Marcus Foundation and early support from The Zalik Foundation to launch the Jewish After School Accelerator (JASA) to help Jewish organizations across the U.S. launch their own Jewish after-school programs.

Since announcing the program, more than 50 synagogues, community centers, day schools, and federations from 32 U.S. cities have applied to participate.

We are currently seeking additional philanthropic partners to bring Jewish after school to more communities across the U.S.

Funders who would like to join the team that is making Jewish education accessible to modern families may contact Ana Robbins at ana@jewishkidsgroups.com.

The Jewish After School Accelerator (JASA) provides Jewish organizations with the tools, guidance, curriculum, and financial support they need to launch their own successful Jewish after-school programs.
