From “attendees” to participants. From members to volunteers. From advocates to ambassadors. From fundraisers to leaders . . . the strength of Jewish Detroit has always been a torch to pass on to the next generation.
Back in the day, circa 1940
It was Federation’s “Junior Division” where a young Mandell (Bill) Berman first stepped forward to support the efforts of Federation’s Annual Campaign.
Breaking records
And dancing to them too. Through the years, Federation’s Junior Division grew into YAD, the Young Adult Division.
NEXTGen Detroit
More than a “Division” of Federation’s Campaign efforts, Federation’s NEXTGen Detroit is now a movement fully dedicated to young Jewish Detroiters with the mission to attract, connect and engage peers, to grow in numbers and to lead the work of the Jewish community to build a greater Detroit for generations to come.
Celebrating Latke Vodka 9
NEXTGen’s Annual Thanksgiving Homecoming Event is set for Saturday, November 30, 2013, 9 p.m. – 2 a.m., featuring the Collision Six Band at the Royal Oak Music Theatre.
Last year, Latke Vodka drew nearly 1,000 young Detroiters for a night of food, friends, fun and Federation. This year’s numbers are expected to climb even higher.
