The Meyer-Gottesman Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellowship, a project of Moving Traditions is a distinctive opportunity for young Jewish feminists (10th through 12th grade) to learn how to effectively speak their minds and create the change they want to see in the world.

Offered in collaboration with NFTY and with support from USY, this year-long fellowship invites teens of all genders to learn how to apply a Jewish feminist lens to the world, ask powerful questions, deepen their knowledge about social change, and amplify their voices to share their beliefs and express a call to action. Finally, fellows hone their skills by creating a tangible social change project.

The National Partnership for Women & Families is a national, non-profit, non-partisan organization that works to change policy and culture.

Grounded in the lived experience of women and families, particularly those who face the greatest barriers to equity and opportunity, the Partnership focuses on issues that increase equity, health, and economic justice and how they impact women’s ability to thrive and fully participate in our society.

The Partnership’s work includes:

• Advancing gender and racial equity in the workplace through paid family and medical leave, equal pay, prevention of sexual harassment, fairness for pregnant workers, paid sick days, and fair scheduling.
• Improving access to affordable, quality health care that authentically meets the needs of all women and families and reduces inequities in health, especially the disparities and declining outcomes in maternal health.
• Promoting reproductive freedom and justice, access to contraception and abortion care, and elimination of the stigma associated with abortion.
