Community Partnership
Powered by The J and The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, The Collective is built by and for stakeholders from formal and non-formal structures of Jewish education and engagement systems. Participants include day schools, early childhood and supplementary schools, experiential initiates, and all lifelong learning from both legacy and emergent systems. Together, we are building a collaborative community that ignites our future.
