Innovation Board

The Capital Jewish Museum is pleased to announce the launch of a new Innovation Board, intended to cultivate a new generation of museum leaders and ambassadors. Grounded in Jewish values that animate the Museum’s work—tikkun olam (repairing the world), kehillah (community), tzedakah (giving and responsibility), and l’dor v’dor (from generation to generation)—the Innovation Board will create meaningful opportunities for younger adults to connect with Jewish history, culture, philanthropy, and one another.

The Innovation Board will help ensure that the Museum remains a vibrant and and relevant space for the next generation of Jewish Washingtonians and the broader community.

  • 25-45 years old
