If you’ve been looking for an informed way to stand with Israeli women and take action in response to the sexual violence of October 7, we invite you to apply for the first South Florida cohort of the I Believe Israeli Women (IBIW) Ambassadors Program.

This new leadership initiative is open to individuals ages 25–45 in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. The program builds on IBIW’s global advocacy and the local momentum of Young Women’s Impact Network (YWIN) South Florida, JWI’s new local community for women in their 20s and 30s to connect and develop as leaders.

IBIW Ambassadors will bring IBIW’s mission into their communities and professional networks. Ambassadors will help others fight the denial and disinformation about October 7 and the sexual violence committed against Israelis, while raising awareness about the need to include Israelis in conversations about conflict-related sexual violence, justice, and accountability.

As an ambassador, you will:

• Participate in leadership development and advocacy training, and receive IBIW resources and briefings to help you speak about these issues accurately and confidently.

• Host or co-host at least one local gathering between September and December 2026, with support from IBIW. This could include a Shabbat dinner, salon conversation, film screening, speaker event, or small-group advocacy briefing.

• Receive priority consideration for future IBIW and YWIN advocacy opportunities, including the YWIN Israel trip.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis through July 15.

Not eligible to apply, but know someone who is?
