At 15, Jonah enrolled at Camp Rising Sun in New York, where he was accepted by an international community of youth leaders, and began practicing a personal philosophy of “Radical Inclusion” – and he hasn’t looked back since. Influenced by this formative experience, Jonah went on to found NEXUS around a framework and culture of celebrating differences, while amplifying the voice of the global youth he credits for setting him on this path. NEXUS is a global youth network of influential philanthropists and social entrepreneurs that are tackling a wide array of socially responsible causes and issues, and they are at the forefront of innovations in a variety of environmental spaces. Through the NEXUS Impact Accelerator program, Jonah is striving to get resources directly to those social entrepreneurs who are working on the most critical global environmental challenges. In 2018, he founded the Healthy Democracy Coalition (HDC) to help mend the political divide in the United States, by bringing Republican and Democratic donors together to address societal problems that have been ignored, and even exacerbated, as a result of the increasing divisiveness. Jonah strongly believes that getting youth involved in decision making along with adults is very important, especially at a time when people are so divided. He sees investing in young people as a crucial, and positive investment in our future.
