About the Program
An Officer and a Mensch is a non-traditional leadership program providing law enforcement and staff the opportunities to better understanding and empathy with historically oppressed communities like the Tenderloin.
Led by CSJ’s manager for Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation, Rabbi Michael Lezak, participants come to GLIDE for three days of immersive service, learning and reflection, serving alongside GLIDE staff, while focusing on four areas of leadership: Wellness, Growth, Spirit and Empathy.
