Jamie Fuhrman

Jamie is a firm believer in tikkun olam--and making a difference in his own community and beyond. When Jamie isn't at his job in financial securities, there's a pretty good chance he is giving back. He volunteers through JUF's TOV Volunteer Network and Young Leadership Division's Mensches in Motion.

Jamie makes a difference in the next generation through mentorship of high school and college students. A member of JUF's Engagement and Volunteer Committees, he also mentors high school students through iMentor. A Washington University alum, Jamie also helps students navigate the daunting college admissions process and transition to college life through mentorship programs for college students.

He has cultivated a wide network with other young Jewish professionals through Silverstein BASE, YLD, Project 613, and Moishe House.
