FOR CAMPUS, SOCIAL, AND BUSINESS LEADERS

A Jewish community built on connection, mentorship, and leadership.

JHP engages and energizes Jewish college students who aren’t otherwise involved in Jewish life — through peer-to-peer programming that celebrates Jewish pride and tradition, builds friendships and mentorship, and helps each student discover their own power to make the world a better place.

OUR INSPIRATION
“Each individual has the capacity to build communities and endow communities with life. So that every community member becomes a source of inspiration.”
— The Lubavitcher Rebbe
PG
“I was one of the founders of JHP in 1993 and joined then. It definitely kept me more involved after school, in particular seeking out folks from Chabad in different communities that I’ve been in because I have had such a great experience with them.”
Paul Germain · JHP founder, 1993
