About Blue Compass

Blue Compass is the first national initiative dedicated to connecting, supporting, and empowering Jewish professionals working in secular nonprofits. We create supportive spaces, build resilience, and foster collective action to ensure Jewish professionals can thrive and lead fully within the nonprofit sector.

Our core activities include Compass Circles (peer-led groups hosted within our online community, Compass Connect), regional Compass Collectives (beginning in New York and San Francisco), which include in-person convenings to strengthen community and combat antisemitism in the nonprofit workplace. We partner with high-quality, vetted organizations to offer webinars, workshops, and content for our members, focusing on bridge-building, constructive dialogue, and combating antisemitism.

At its heart, Blue Compass is about restoring connection and creating collective action. We want people to connect with each other, with purpose, and with the values that have long guided Jewish leadership in public life. We believe the answer to rising division isn’t retreat or silence, but deeper engagement and shared understanding.
