Team & Board

Guided by our core values

Our team and board are the bright lights that keep UpStart’s work going across five regional hubs and twenty communities around the country. We are guided by our core values–optimism, collaboration, risk-taking, and empathy–as we move the needle on expanding the picture of modern Jewish life.
