We greatly appreciate your contribution!

By fostering a culture of giving, Osher helps members understand that philanthropy is not just an act of generosity, but a powerful tool for
personal development and community impact. Through active engagement in charitable initiatives and the practice of Tzedaka, young
professionals learn to balance success with social responsibility, cultivating a mindset that values both achievement and altruism.

 

As they contribute to the betterment of their communities, they experience growth in all areas of life—enhancing their leadership skills, deepening their connections, and finding greater purpose and fulfillment in their careers and personal lives.

Osher believes that by guiding young professionals to become philanthropic leaders, they not
only transform the world around them but also unlock their own potential for holistic success.

Founded with a vision to empower the next generation of Jewish professionals, Osher (formerly YJP Foundation Inc.) was established as a dynamic organization dedicated to fostering growth, leadership, and community within the Jewish professional world.
The organization was inspired by the need to create a supportive environment where young Jewish professionals could connect, learn, and grow both personally and professionally.

Osher began as a small initiative, bringing together like-minded individuals who shared a passion for community building and professional development. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by young Jewish professionals, we sought to create a space where mentorship, networking, and spiritual growth could converge. The early days of Osher were marked by intimate gatherings, where members could engage in meaningful conversations, share ideas, and build lasting relationships.

As the organization grew, so did its scope and impact. Osher expanded its offerings to include a wide range of programs and events designed to address the diverse needs of its members. From business workshops and networking events to social singles programs and galas, Osher quickly became a hub for Jewish professionals seeking to excel in all areas of their lives.

Central to Osher’s mission is the belief that success is not just about career achievements, but also about personal fulfillment, philanthropy, ethical responsibility, and community engagement. This holistic approach led to the development of the Osher Model for Success, a framework that provides 360-degree mentorship across six key components:

Tzedaka

Community

Business

Social

Spiritual

Wellness

Over the years, Osher has built a vibrant community of professionals who are dedicated to supporting one another and contributing to the greater good. The organization has established itself as a leader in the Jewish professional world, known for its commitment to excellence, innovation, and inclusivity.

Today Osher continues to thrive with a growing membership base and an ever-expanding range of programs and initiatives. As it looks to the future, Osher remains committed to its founding principles, ensuring that the next generation of Jewish leaders have the tools, support, and community they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
