Dual Investment Program
The mission of Joshua Venture Group is rooted in the concept of a dual investment — in visionary leaders and in groundbreaking ideas. We believe that the cultivation of both leaders and the enterprises they seek to build has that much more potential to profoundly impact the Jewish world and the world Jewishly.
Joshua Venture Group invites the next generation of Jewish social entrepreneurs to the communal table to achieve their visions for social impact. Through our intensive two-year Dual Investment Program, emerging leaders gain the skills, resources, and exposure to enable them to grow and sustain their ventures, as well as to complement the existing mainstream Jewish infrastructure.
Applications for the 2012-2014 Dual Investment Program are now available, and must be submitted by 5:00pm EST on April 17th, 2012. Please follow this link to apply.
The Dual Investment Program provides Fellows with the following resources over two years:
Funding
$40,000/year in unrestricted funding and at least $7,000/year in stipends for professional and organizational development support, and to subsidize health insurance.
Skills Building
Annual retreats, workshops, and individual coaching for more effective leadership.
Peer Cohort
Gatherings and peer coaching develop a strong support network among the cohort, as well as among the program’s 24 alumni.

Amplification
