About the Fellowship
We live in a world facing remarkable challenges, but within the Jewish community there is enormous potential to face and fix the world around us... The Cleveland/PresenTense Community Entrepreneur Partnership (CEP) is built around an idea for how we can unleash our community’s potential to solve these problems: By tapping the talents and passions of everyday professionals in our community, we can help accelerate young, entrepreneurial change agents to transform our communities and create a better future.
For over five years, PresenTense has refined, rebuilt, and optimized a program harnessing the energies of local volunteers to aid local social entrepreneurs. From 2007-2010, 77 ventures were launched with the support of volunteer mentors, coaches, steering committee members, and Round Table presenters. These ventures, 64% of which are still operating today, have impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world in the areas of the arts, philanthropy, the environment, education, social action, and Israel advocacy. And they are only getting started.
The Cleveland/PresenTense Fellowship shares the recipe for this type of world-changing exponential engagement so that you too can be part of the entrepreneurial solution to the challenges facing our communities and the world in the 21st century. Through this website, you can get an insiders’ view into how the entire CEP process runs and what makes it work. You'll learn about our cluster methodology. What is a Fellow? How are Fellows selected? How does the Steering Committee guide the Fellowship process, and in doing so, engage local young professionals?
All of these questions will be addressed to give you a better perspective of the Cleveland/PresenTense CEP experience, and more information is online at presentense.org/cep to help you become part of this movement to forward the Jewish People.
Thank you for supporting Jewish social entrepreneurs building new vehicles to solve problems facing our communities and the world. Our hope is to be a vehicle to help you create the community you would like to see.
We look forward to working with you,
The Cleveland/PresenTense Team
