Joshua Venture Group

The Hub at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco was established in 2001 to foster community through the arts, support the development of new works by Jewish artists, and explore the evolution of Jewish culture. As the founding artistic director, Amy helped bring positive Jewish identity to mainstream arts and culture. The program continues under new leadership and has been expanded to include social action and networking for Jewish young adults. Today, the Hub supports and works as a programming partner for virtually all young adult programs in the San Francisco Bay Area.
