Samuel Katz, Footsteps Member, speaks to the question: What makes Footsteps an innovate organization?

Footsteps produced this video to be incorporated into the 2013-2014 Slingshot Guide, A Resource Guide to Jewish Innovation.This is the fifth time that Footsteps will appear in the guide, which names us as one of the 50 top innovative organizations in the Jewish community in North America.

To hear about Samuel Katz's story, listen to his interview on NPR's All Things Considered:

Footsteps is the only organization in North America that assists people who wish to leave the ultra-Orthodox community. Based in New York, Footsteps provides a range of services, including social and emotional support, educational and career guidance, workshops and social activities, and access to resources. Thanks to Footsteps, former ultra-Orthodox Jews have a safe, supportive, and flourishing community to turn to as they work to define their own identities, build new connections, and lead productive lives on their own terms.
