Partners
The Jewish Farm School exists because of the assistance and guidance of its partner organizations.
These partner organizations and their respective audiences provide key resources, such as physical venues, social forums, and religious communities to work within. Together, the broader Jewish environmental education community gains from the strength of exploring objectives and strategies.
