At JELF, we help students achieve their dreams of higher education and make their career aspirations a reality. However, each loan we make is also an investment. It’s an investment in a person, but also an investment in our assets, as the funds will be repaid. JELF has recently launched a program to maximize our investments – giving our students another tool with which to be successful – the JELF Mentoring Program.
The JELF Mentoring Program matches JELF borrowers early in their careers with established members of the Jewish community in the same professional field. JELF mentors will provide coaching, advice and networking to the JELF mentee – ultimately fulfilling JELF’s long-term goal of helping Jewish students achieve their full potential in life. In the first cohort of mentors and mentees, JELF matched lawyers, graphic designers, musicians, entrepreneurs, and more! Interested in being a mentor? Contact us!
