Glass Leadership Institute
Through the Glass Leadership Institute, ADL empowers its next generation of leaders. This nationally recognized leadership program provides 25- to 40-year-olds with the tools to fight hatred and bigotry in their own communities by providing unique opportunities to explore ADL’s global mission from an insider’s perspective.

Israel Police Exchange
Working with ADL's Israel Office, ADL brings senior Israel Police commanders to Washington to conduct briefings at the ADL's Advanced Training School™. The Israel Police commanders then participate in a series of briefings and trainings organized by regional offices.

ADL In Concert Against Hate
Since the first Concert in 1995, close to 25,000 people have been inspired to stand up to bigotry and intolerance by ADL In Concert Against Hate.

Advanced Training School™
Less than a year after September 11, ADL launched a major counter-terrorism training program for law enforcement across the country titled the Advanced Training School™. Held in Washington, DC, the three day seminar provides senior law enforcement personnel with state of the art information and resources on domestic and international terrorism.

Echoes and Reflections
Echoes and Reflections is a world-class multi-media curriculum on Holocaust education developed through a joint project between the Anti-Defamation League, Yad Vashem, and the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education. Through compelling video testimony of survivors, rescuers, and liberators, and multi-disciplinary curriculum material, Echoes & Reflections explores connections to cultural diversity, intolerance, prejudice, and genocide in historical and contemporary contexts.

National Youth Leadership Mission
Each year, delegations of student leaders travel to Washington, DC to attend the annual National Youth Leadership Mission. Beginning at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the delegates spend three and a half days studying the consequences of hatred and discrimination.

Confronting Anti-Semitism
The Confronting Anti-Semitism Program trains young people and their parents to confront real-life anti-Semitic incidents, to combat anti-Semitic myths with facts, and to respond effectively to hate-motivated occurrences. Confronting Anti-Semitism opens the lines of communication between parents and their children about the ongoing issue of anti-Semitism, and prepares families to challenge stereotypes wherever and whenever they occur.

Law Enforcement and Society
Law Enforcement and Society is an innovative training that increases law enforcement personnel’s understanding of their roles as protectors of the American people and the Constitution. Created by the ADL’s Washington, DC Regional Office and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum at the request of Washington’s former Police Chief Charles Ramsey in 1999, Law Enforcement and Society has trained more than 36,000 law enforcement professionals and is a required part of training for every FBI New Agent.

Victim Assistance, Anti-Semitism and Hate Crimes
ADL is on the frontlines helping individuals line in climates free from intimidation and discrimination. Daily, we respond to requests for assistance with hate crime incidents, employment cases, education issues, and media concerns. Advocating on behalf of church-state separation and fair treatment for all, we work tirelessly to ensure our communities remain safe and free from anti-Semitism.

ADL’s National Counterterrorism Seminar in Israel
Twice a year, top ranking American law enforcement officials travel to Israel with ADL to study first hand Israel’s tactics and strategies to combat terrorism. ADL’s National Counterterrorism Seminar in Israel is an intensive week-long training led by senior commanders in the Israel Police, experts from Israel’s intelligence and security services, and the Israel Defense Forces.

A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute
Across our region, A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute programs have trained students, educators, and community members with leadership skills to challenge prejudice and discrimination, to foster intergroup understanding, and to equip participants to live and work successfully and civilly in a diverse environment. Experiential, hands-on workshops address such issues as diversity in the classroom, name-calling and bullying, and cyberbullying.

Bearing Witness™
Bearing Witness™ provides Catholic school educators with training and resources to help their students understand the history of anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and modern manifestations of prejudice. Created in 1995 by the Washington, DC Regional Office, the Archdiocese of Washington, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and in cooperation with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Catholic Educational Association, Bearing Witness™ is changing relations between Catholics and Jews.
