Abstract
This report describes research conducted by researchers at CMJS to explore the reasons that program leaders from American Jewish World Service (AJWS) and The Progressive Jewish Alliance & Jewish Funds for Justice (PJA & JFSJ) decide not to return for additional seasons with immersive Jewish service-learning program providers. Although this level of voluntary turnover is in line with other informal Jewish education venues, it is critical to understand the pull of forces that motivate leaders to stay as well as the push of those that result in departures, in order to reduce program leader turnover.
