About J Street
J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans to promote US policies that align with Jewish and democratic values, that help secure the State of Israel as a just, democratic homeland for the Jewish people, and that advance freedom, safety and self-determination for the Palestinian people.
J Street focuses its work in three main areas: advocating and demonstrating support for pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy policies in Congress, the media, and the Jewish community; endorsing and supporting federal candidates who share J Street's agenda; and educating the public and raising awareness of the need for a lasting peace that ensures security, dignity, and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians.
Our Core Values
Everything we do is grounded in three values that guide how we work and show up for our mission:
Impactful — We act with intention and measure success by the progress we make and the change we help bring about.
Adaptable — We treat every challenge as an invitation to think creatively and find a better path forward.
Aligned — We are united by shared principles and an unwavering commitment to our mission.
The Opportunity
This is a moment of real consequence for J Street — and for the issues we work on. The debate over Israel-Palestine in Congress, in the Jewish community, and in American politics is shifting, and J Street is at the center of that shift. Over the past five years, we have doubled our budget and dramatically expanded our reach. We're looking for two talented professionals who are ready to grow with J Street as we step into our next chapter and help shape what that chapter looks like.
Ideal candidates will bring a passion for fundraising, deep relationships in the Jewish community, and a strong understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how it plays out in American politics.
