YA KNOW WHAT'S HARD?
Starting something new on your own!

Join the Jewish Engagement Lab

We can help you, while you help the community. This group inspires, encourages and supports grassroots Jewish initiatives in San Diego.

APRIL WORKSHOP: Control & Direction Balancing Entrepreneurial & Independent vs Partnership, Integration and Considerations About Evolution

Sometimes you can't partner, especially to start something because a Partner isn't interested. At what points does partnership become possible, are you open to it, they? What are some of the reasons your program at various stages may be more appealing to potential partners and what are your realistic expectations about sustaining your programs long term. Is it even a consideration? We'll talk about examples of successful partnership that allow for autonomous program development but support in other ways and scenarios in which startup programs were successfully integrated into long lasting traditional agencies.

We'll also workshop as a group several of our own Lab project founders ideas for pilots and answer their questions, challenge them with recommendations. If you want to sign up to workshop your project idea with the Lab, sign up here. We will take up to 3 and allocate 15 minutes each to you.
