How We Can Help

Grandparents are your community’s superpower —
essential organizational and family influencers.

Want to connect with grandparents?
The Jewish Grandparents Network can help!

The Jewish Grandparents Network envisions a Jewish world that embraces grandparents as vital to our families, our communities, and our future. 

Jewish professionals like you all around the country care deeply about creating caring, connected, and thriving institutions. Together we can build a more vibrant and inclusive Jewish community where grandparents play an essential role in sharing Jewish values with their children and grandchildren. 

Consider us your partner! Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here for you…
