OU IMPACT ACCELERATOR EMPOWERING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS
Leah Solomon, founder of After The School Bell, talks to OU staff about her organization.


Our world is changing more quickly than ever. And we consistently need to identify and support social entrepreneurs who proactively confront our 21st-century challenges. Through education, mentorship, and collaboration, we empower great leaders committed to strengthening our communal landscape in new ways.

The Impact Accelerator is bringing things to the Jewish community that can help build and support from within the community itself. Very essential pieces that each of us on our own would not necessarily be able to do. That’s very valuable.”

The educational curriculum and amazing peer relationships which were nurtured within the program have helped give form and function to our passion for helping the Jewish people.”

YAEL DAVIDOWITZ, Last Kindness

The quality of the mentors is unbelievable. They are really working with me, not just giving me advice. I think some of the things I’m doing with the mentors can be game-changing and defining moments in my organization’s success.”
