HIAS Young Leaders: Los Angeles
Political Action in Style

In 2003, a group of young Jewish professionals and graduate students
came together in Los Angeles to support HIAS’ refugee assistance work.
This group transformed into the second chapter of Young Leaders
dedicated to the mission of HIAS. The Young Leaders of the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is a dedicated community of young
professionals and graduate students who have come together to serve,
educate, advocate and fundraise in support of HIAS’ mission of rescue,
resettlement and reunion of Jewish and other migrants. Being involved
in HIAS Young Leaders is an extremely rewarding experience and we
invite you to join HIAS Young Leaders by attending our future events or
taking on a leadership role.
