READ THE LATEST: Jewish Agency Recent Operations
The Jewish Agency for Israel’s Partnership2Gether platform (P2G, previously known as Partnership2000 and P2K) has become the paradigm for successfully partnering global Jewish communities directly with Israeli communities.
An extraordinary global platform connecting some 550 communities around the world in 45 partnerships, P2G is building living bridges among these communities –sharing ideas, strengths, challenges, and models of success. The partnership empowers both communities to generate waves of change.
More than 300,000 participants from Israel and the overseas communities take part in some 500 programs each year.
When it was established in 1994 by the Jewish Agency, United Jewish Communities, and Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal, Partnership 2000 represented a major transition from the Project Renewal-twinning model, which focused on transforming disadvantaged communities through the building of physical and social infrastructure. Meeting our original goals, we have evolved, and are now building community and leadership.
A local endeavor with national impact, each P2G partnership provides the opportunity for communities to connect and build flourishing interpersonal relationships. Through a shared committee process of the partnered communities, more than 10,000 volunteers work together every year. The principle areas of involvement within the individual partnership regions are fostering change in education and economic development.
One of the most exciting aspects of P2G is the mutual and lasting impact.
