PDX Pathways is your guide to creating stronger connections within your Jewish community! 

Whether you are new to town or a life-long Portlander, PDX Pathways is designed to provide you with what you need from the Jewish community.

PDX Pathways is an innovative program that provides Jewish young adults (21-35 years old) with networking opportunities, exposure to meaningful Jewish experiences, as well as access to and mentoring from prominent community and business leaders. Recognizing the significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, this cohort will focus on community building with our group and engage in small groups with mentors. Between each session, mentees will be matched with 3-4 other participants in the group and a mentor.

You are:

• A professional who identifies as Jewish in the Greater Portland community ages 21-35

• Wanting to engage with the Portland Jewish community, ready to participate and hoping to engage further.

• Enthusiastic learner with curiosity to know more about the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland and the Portland Jewish community, as well as your potential role as a leader.

• Open and receptive to new ways of learning and to trying new ideas

We are thrilled to welcome our newest cohort this summer. If you are interested in the next PDX Pathways Cohort, information will be posted in the fall. Feel free to reach out with any questions in the meantime to Sonia Marie Leikam at soniamarie@jewishportland.org.
