Mission
Vision
Within our society, groups face systemic inequity, injustice and bias based upon identities (including but not limited to race, economic class, age, religion, ability, sexual orientation, and gender) which have been compounded over generations.
Inspired by the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam (repair the world) and Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof (justice, justice you shall pursue), National Council of Jewish Women/Cleveland strives to improve the quality of life for all through community engagement, education, and social justice advocacy.
Volunteers and staff build relationships with community partners and legislators, work toward understanding and addressing the needs of those most affected by inequity, and advocate for justice by uplifting marginalized voices to create change in our community.
