LEAD EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION & CHANGE

Atlanta Educators Cohort

A unique 18-month journey that invites Jewish educators from across Atlanta to invest in their passion, build community, and intensify their impact.

INVEST IN YOUR PASSION

The M² Atlanta Educators Cohort is a community-wide initiative that invests in the most promising educators bringing meaningful Jewish experiences to Jews of all ages and backgrounds across the city, and equips them with the most current and innovative educational methods and tools.

EXPLORE AND EXPERIMENT

Through immersive seminars, community of practice gatherings, and personalized mentorship, the Atlanta Educators Cohort creates an intentional space for enrichment, experimentation, and collaboration – while investing in the growth of each fellow and their organization.

BUILD YOUR COMMUNITY

Fellows represent institutions across Atlanta that vary widely in religious observance and background – including camps, schools, teen and student organizations, synagogues, cultural and grassroots organizations, and more. Their greatest commonality is their deep commitment to a thriving Atlanta Jewish community.
