Bay Area JOC+ Professional Network, Project Shamash
Welcome to the Bay Area Jews of Color+ Professional Network, a community program of Project Shamash. Our community is open to BIPOC individuals who work as staff, volunteer, or serve as board members within Jewish communal organizations. Our network seeks to engage folks who have been marginalized by whiteness either racially or culturally, and strongly and fabulously root themselves in diverse identities including Black, Indigenous, Latino, Asian, Sephardi, Mizrachi, Middle Eastern, and more. Being Jewish is not a requirement.

We meet to learn and build on our strengths. We meet to counter the isolation we often feel as the "only one" in the places where we work and to heal through belonging and feeling more fully seen. We meet to celebrate and connect in ways that are fun and joyful for us. We meet to take a break from navigating whiteness in order to find our power on our own terms, while being aware of our unique experiences and proximity to privilege. The content of our meetings varies: some meetings will be social, while others will include guest JOC+ mentors and leaders across the field. We will also offer cutting-edge leadership workshops specific to holding JOC+ identity and power in the places where we work and lead.

We hope that members of our network can experience, and also help us create, a sense of wholeness. This is a participatory group, and we are excited for how you will choose to engage and how you'll shape our group experience.

We are an open network and encourage folks to join on a rolling basis, but we expect that folks who join can commit to our year-long program. Please fill out the form below to apply for our 2022 program, and tell us a bit about yourself so we can attune our programming to meet your interests and hopes.
