We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jenna Gerstner who joined our team on October 16 as Manager, NextGen & PJ Library. She brings to her new role a passion for community engagement and lifelong experience in the Jewish communal sphere. Jenna began her Jewish service journey as a teen; through her university years, she honed her skills in leadership, outreach, and stewardship at Hillel and UCLA Bayit, while also serving as a Jewish educator and youth leader at several congregations. 
 
Having benefited from Federation’s NextGen events and PJ Library activities, Jenna looks forward to creating vibrant, meaningful programs for young adults across Orange County. She shared, “At the heart of my professional journey is a commitment to service and Jewish values. I yearn to help people and bring light into the world. And I am inspired by the Federation’s dedication to fostering a sense of belonging for all in our community.”
