About J Street

J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans to promote US policies that align with Jewish and democratic values, that help secure the State of Israel as a just, democratic homeland for the Jewish people, and that advance freedom, safety and self-determination for the Palestinian people.

J Street focuses its work in three main areas: (1) Advocating and demonstrating support for pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy policies in Congress, the media and the Jewish community; (2) Endorsing and raising money for federal candidates who share J Street’s agenda; and (3) Educating the public and raising awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the two-state solution.

Our Core Values

At J Street, everything we do is grounded in three core values that guide how we work, collaborate, and show up for our mission.

Impactful — We act with intention. We measure success not just by what we do, but by the progress we make and the change we help bring about.
Adaptable — We treat every challenge as an invitation to think creatively, reframe the problem, and find a better path forward.
Aligned — We are united by shared principles and an unwavering commitment to our mission. Our strength comes from believing in what we're building together.

We're looking for someone who sees themselves in these values and is ready to bring them to life in their work every day.
