Advancing Jewish Athletics is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering Jewish athletes to pursue excellence in sport while embracing their Jewish identity.
Co-founded by Olympian and attorney Jared Firestone, Advancing Jewish Athletics works to remove barriers that prevent talented athletes from reaching their full potential. Through grants, mentorship, educational programming, training opportunities, and community engagement, the organization supports athletes at every stage of their journey—from aspiring youth competitors to elite international athletes.
Our mission is simple: to ensure that Jewish athletes have access to the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to succeed on and off the field of play.
In addition to supporting individual athletes, Advancing Jewish Athletics seeks to inspire the next generation through camps, clinics, speaking engagements, and partnerships with coaches, trainers, and community organizations. By investing in athletic development and leadership, we aim to strengthen both Jewish representation in sports and the broader Jewish community.
Whether competing locally, nationally, or on the world stage, Jewish athletes deserve the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Advancing Jewish Athletics exists to help make that possible.
