take your involvement to the next level
The ILN is the core of our Movement's leadership around the world. This network builds, shapes, and leverages the power of Jewish teens to strengthen our priorities, connect our communities, and develop new leaders. There are so many opportunities for members from every community, regardless of position, grade, or past experience, to raise their hand to help build our Movement.
