Partners

The Jewish Farm School could not exist without assistance and guidance of its partner organizations. These partner organizations and their respective audiences provide certain key resources, such as physical venues, a social forum, and a religious community within which to work. The Jewish Environmental Education community gains from the strength of organizations exploring objectives and strategies together.
