Opportunities to Engage

Our grantees are generating cutting-edge research, creating innovative programs, and advancing the field for Jews of Color. This page shares some of the current opportunities to engage with their work.


Mitsui Collective Community Impact Survey

Mitsui Collective is partnering with Tiyuv טִיוּב to explore the impact of Mitsui Collective models and programs on participants across the spectrum of offerings. Tiyuv is a culturally responsive, Jews of Color (JOC)-led model and hub for formal program evaluation of racial and social justice work in the Jewish community – excellent partners for us in this impact assessment work.

We are inviting all past participants to take a survey about their Mitsui Collective experiences, Jewish identity and engagement, sense of belonging, and the influence of embodiment practices on your life so that we can gain a better understanding of our impact to date, and make a compelling case for the continued resourcing of our ongoing and future work.

If you’ve been impacted by the work of Mitsui Collective in any way, we’d love to hear from you.   
Participation is voluntary and your time is much appreciated! The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Responses are confidential (only accessible to the Tiyuv research team).

Take the Survey!

*note: some folks will have received a personalized survey invitation directly from SurveyMonkey. If that’s the case, they should use that link when possible.
