The Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor is thrilled to share exciting news that embodies growth, connection, and inclusivity. In a leap toward the future, we’re excited to reveal the transformation of our young adult programming from “Jewish Young Professionals” to “NEXTGen of Greater Ann Arbor,” affectionately known as “NEXTGen A2.”
What’s in a Name? A Lot!
This exciting shift is fueled by our deep commitment to a more vibrant, welcoming community. By changing our name to NEXTGen A2, we’re aligning ourselves with similar groups across North America using “NEXTGen” to represent the next generation of leaders propelling the broader Jewish community forward. We’re creating an open, inclusive space for individuals in their 20s and 30s, encompassing recent college graduates, graduate students, parents, professionals, and more.
Clarity and Purpose
Our choice of NEXTGen A2 underscores our focus on nurturing the next generation of trailblazers, thinkers, and creators within the Greater Ann Arbor Jewish community. This modern and direct name better represents the diverse life stages we warmly embrace.
A Journey into Tomorrow
We’re more than a name change; we’re embarking on a journey of new experiences, deep connections, and meaningful impact. Together, we’re steering the ship of Ann Arbor’s Jewish community into a brighter tomorrow. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a devoted parent, a dynamic professional, or just looking to connect, NEXTGen A2 is your space.
Join us on this thrilling adventure! We’re excited to introduce NEXTGen A2 as the gateway to a more vibrant, connected, and inclusive future. As we uncover the possibilities that lie ahead, stay tuned for updates. Feel free to reach out to NEXTGen A2 Coordinator Ariella Hoffman-Peterson at nextgena2@jewishannarbor.org for questions, connections, or to be added to our mailing list.
