Fellowship: Tiyuv טִיוּב Evaluator Training and Mentoring Program

The Tiyuv Fellowship: Developing Jews of Color (JOC)  Evaluation Strategists

Since 2022, Tiyuv has run the Tiyuv טִיוּב Evaluator Training and Mentoring Program to develop and uplift future JOC leaders as professional evaluators. This mentoring fellowship is our commitment to strengthening Jewish communal spaces and ensuring they reflect our highest values of inclusion and equity. We are creating a network of leaders working towards collective transformation within organizations, sectors, and ecosystems.

Program Impact and Vision

We have successfully trained and graduated three national cohorts of JOC evaluators through our fellowship program, establishing a powerful pipeline of talent. Graduates leave equipped to lead change and promote equity in diverse organizational settings.


Our Tiyuv Evaluator Training and Mentoring Program equips cohorts of JOC and BIPOC leaders to become evaluation strategists who build collective power, foster solidarity, and drive systemic change.


We have partnered with national organizations dedicated to organizing, field building, and combating racism and antisemitism, delivering evaluations, training, and consultations that have transformed their approaches to measuring equity impact and strengthened their justice work.

Program Scope

The JOC and BIPOC Fellowship provides comprehensive, real-world experience, mentorship, and academic rigor in a culturally affirming setting.

​

  • Training & Mentoring: Intensive, structured mentoring program focused on culturally responsive evaluation and equity-oriented evaluation methodologies.
     

  • Apprenticeships: Fellows gain hands-on experience by working directly on Tiyuv-led evaluation projects with real clients.
     

  • Networking: Fellows join a growing national network of Jewish Fellowship alumni and professional partners dedicated to equitable change.
     

  • Cross-community relationships: Builds meaningful relationships between Jewish and non-Jewish BIPOC leaders, creating shared understanding, solidarity, and collaboration across communities while actively strengthening the capacity to confront racism and antisemitism together.
     

  • Professionalization & Field Connection: Introduces fellows to national evaluation networks, including engagement opportunities with the American Evaluation Association, to support professional identity, credibility, and long-term career advancement.
     

  • Career Pathway: A launchpad into careers, often leading to fellowships, jobs, and consulting opportunities across Jewish nonprofits, universities, and the broader social justice sector.

Strategic Consulting

​

Developing the evaluative thinking, advising skills, and strategic insight needed to serve as an effective evaluation partner within complex organizational systems.

Adam Okoye, Tiyuv Alumni (Cohort 1)

"I am very grateful that I was able to be a part of the first Tiyuv cohort. Although I came in with a background in qualitative analysis, Tiyuv gave me a great foundation to build on that and learn how to do evaluation in research in non-academic contexts. As an alum, I have also been able to continue to work with Tiyuv on an evaluation project that we're doing with a local Jewish organization. This has given me a chance to apply the skills that I learned during the program while simultaneously doing work within the Jewish community."
