What is COMPASS?

COMPASS is an initiative of the ECP that sponsors a national network of Chaburot: purposeful groups of young professional women who learn together on a consistent basis with a dedicated Educator/Mentor from whom they also have access to personal mentorship and guidance.

Torah Learning

Chaburah participants benefit from bimonthly learning with an Educator/Mentor. Learning is high-level, source-based, collaborative, and discussion-based, relevant to young adult learners.

Community Building

With help from the ECP, Chaburah participants plan and execute meaningful programming, especially around chaggim, fostering connections and growth.

Personal Mentorship

Educator/Mentors are skilled at relationship-building and proactive with Chaburah participants, allocating weekly time-slots for guidance meetings.

ECP Support Includes:

Funding for each Chaburah through compensating the Educator/Mentor
Grants for meaningful programming and events
Professional development opportunities for Educator/Mentors
Collaborative national network of female Educator/Mentors
Access to community-building and educational programming
