What Is Keeping Current?

Keeping Current is an initiative by IMPACT, The Associated’s Young Adult Group, is an opportunity for interactive experiences and facilitated discussions to build community and talk about hot topics from a Jewish lens.

This program, inspired by a similar program from IMPACT, C.H.A.T. (Conversations Happening Around Town), is also designed to provide awareness and partnership opportunities for those working directly to tackle critical issues in the community. Topics on the program range from food insecurity, mental health and antisemitism.

For each topic, there will be two session programs. One to hear from experts in the field and the second to use that knowledge to make an impact. These important issues will bring together Associated agencies and community partners, including Jewish Volunteer Connection (JVC), Repair the World,  Mazon, Manna House, JCS and BJC.

The first topic is on Food Security, something that Associated Agencies, like Jewish Volunteer Connection, have been tackling in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We wanted to provide a hands-on way to learn about these issues with real next steps about how to get involved,” one IMPACT professional commented on the creation of the program and its partnership with Associated Agencies.
