Fostering Political Engagement

A shift is taking place in Canadian politics. The next generation of political leaders is starting to take shape, and CJPAC is working to ensure that our community is ready, willing and able to take up the challenge.

CJPAC Fellowship: Providing the brightest and most engaged Jewish and pro-Israel university students with top-tier political training and mentorship.

National Young Leadership Israel Advocacy (YLIA): In partnership with UIA Federations Canada and CIJA, we are educating the next generation of community leaders about their role in the political process.

Activating the Community

Given our communal history and the growing challenges we face, CJPAC knows that direct political participation is the most effective way of protecting our shared values.

ItsUp2You.ca: Sometimes politics appears daunting. That is why we have developed ItsUp2You.ca – to make getting politically engaged easy.

ACTION Leadership & Parties: Every year we attract over 1500 young professionals to our ACTION programming, providing them with a chance to get to know elected officials – often for the first time.

Outreach: Every community & demographic has different needs. That’s why CJPAC has national and regional outreach professionals running a full gamut of customizable programming, building a base of activism within our community.

Relationships Matter!

In a democracy, there is nothing more important than connecting with our representatives. CJPAC is ensuring that our voice is heard by promoting and fostering individual personal relationships between our community and MPs.

Knowing where the stand – MP Statements: Words matter, and when Members of Parliament speak about our issues – positive or negative – we track and share their words with you.

Action Alerts: Together our voices are stronger. CJPAC empowers Canadians to contact key officials about the issues & events that most concern our community.

Volunteering: There is no more valuable gift for a politician than your time. CJPAC is empowering community members to make a direct impact by facilitating their volunteering efforts during and between elections.
