About LAunchpad
In the pilot year, four synagogues were chosen to participate in the Incubator. These synagogues have the opportunity to uniquely focus on Jewish youth philanthropy and benefit from its incredible impact and promise on which it delivers: strengthening young people’s connections to Jewish life, identity, community and values while cultivating a lasting desire and skillset to change the world and impact the Los Angeles community.
Honeycomb works with each synagogue providing educational curriculum, resources, funding and training to elevate and develop their philanthropy programming and ensuring strong bonds with the Los Angeles community.
