The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is pleased to welcome Rebecca Saunders as the new Program Associate for the Strategy and Impact department.
“I’m a fourth-generation Philadelphia resident, and my family has been deeply impacted by the work of the Jewish Federation since the early 1900s”, said Saunders. “It’s especially meaningful to now have the opportunity to give back to an organization that helped shape our sense of Jewish identity and belonging through times of challenge and resilience. I’m excited to see where this work takes me — and who it connects me with along the way!”
Prior to joining the Jewish Federation, Saunders worked at Action for Boston Community Development as the data and evaluation intern. In this role, she worked on external data analysis projects to identify publicly accessible data sets and data shared by program partners. She also created presentations of the data for various stakeholders.
Saunders holds a masters degree in public health from Brown University. While earning her degree, she was a teaching assistant and was responsible for selecting relevant course readings and facilitating students with research projects.
In her new role at the Jewish Federation, Saunders will support the Strategy and Impact Department by developing relationships locally and internationally with the organization’s large grantee network.
