ROI Community is a global community of Jewish innovators created by Lynn Schusterman. Our ultimate goal is to connect dynamic, creative Jews with each other and to give them the tools, support and space they need to turn their ideas into innovative work that will change the face of Jewish life today – and tomorrow. Through our conferences, gatherings, professional development, mentorship opportunities and financial support, our members shape the Jewish future as they continue their journey as leaders, activists and change-agents.

Across the globe, amazing young Jews are connecting through the ROI Community. Through intensive gatherings such as the annual ROI Summit, as well as regional and local events, ROI is the leading vehicle that makes these connections possible.  Beyond gatherings, our network supports on-going interactions and relationships among our members.
Our community is one of sharing and reciprocity where members learn from and nurture each other. Such connections spark the ideas that ultimately lead to the action-plans necessary for improving our communities and society at large.

ROI Community members are creating new and innovative ways to connect wider audiences around the globe to Jewish life.  They are contributing to and influencing the fields of education, Israel advocacy, technology, social justice, the arts, environment and more.  

We believe that the creative potential of these innovative Jews can strengthen not only the Jewish community, but improve the world, as well.
ROI Community now includes more than 700 Jewish innovators from over 40 countries and has sparked hundreds of member-initiated projects and events. In addition to ongoing support and professional development, ROI Community nurtures innovative initiatives through ROI Micro Grants and by providing access to unique funding and development opportunities.

ROI Community began in 2005 as a partnership between Taglit-Birthright Israel and the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation. ROI Community is an independent non-profit organization and is a member of the CLSPN (Charles and Lynn Schusterman Philanthropic Network).

What began as an annual summit has now become an active year-round community where Jewish innovators collaborate with one another and offer each other strategic support and advice.
 

Our future is the future not just of our members, but of the Jewish community at-large. By supporting and nurturing the young creative people in our community, we are ultimately shaping the Jewish world for years to come.
