Engagement Opportunities

Throughout our 130 year history, NCJW Colorado has been at the forefront of  acting to make lives better for women, children, and families through advocacy, community service, and education.  No matter how much life has changed over the years, we always have been there to meet the moment. We continue to serve our community today, acting through Advocacy and Community Service and Education.

Currently, our advocacy has been focusing on issues such as Reproductive Rights, Gun Violence Prevention the Legislature, Democracy and Voting, Courts, Economic Equity for Women, Raising Safe and Healthy Families, Immigration, Antisemitism, and Gender Equity in Israel.

We have engaged our community through direct community service with programs and projects that get to the heart of what people need, programs dealing with matters such as Homelessness, Support for Students and Schools, Women’s Health (and mental health), Immigration, Poverty, and Domestic Violence, Serving Meals to the Hungry and Providing handmade knit goods to those who need a little extra TLC, and more.

We educate through a series of Listen & Learns discussing matters that span the whole of our engagement opportunities, including panels and discussions on topics ranging from the Jewish Holidays, Genealogy, Medical Services, the Migrant issue in Denver to interactive programs on the morass of immigration processes and trying to get ahead of the poverty line to The Janes movie and the film Under G-D, both about abortion and reproductive justice. We turn education back into advocacy and service.

There are so many ways to engage with NCJW Colorado, and we are discovering more every day. Our members and our broader communities provide the inspiration.

Engagement with NCJW Colorado starts with becoming a member. Anyone who shares our mission of making lives better for women, children, and families while safeguarding individual rights and freedoms is welcome in NCJW Colorado.  Our membership spans not only Colorado but extends to far off corners of our nation. We are a diverse organization. Our members are not all Jewish and are not all women. We have members of varied races, ethnicities, ages, family backgrounds, education levels, genders, political affiliations, religions, sexual orientations, and more. With over 500 members, our Section is growing and becoming a stronger voice of which we all are proud.

And, we enjoy each other’s company no matter what program or project or event we are sponsoring – a membership event, a listen & learn, providing dinners, or spending a “Day at the Capitol.” NCJW Colorado “works,” both literally and figuratively, and we have our members to thank for all of it.
