Programs

Law Enforcement Training
ADL offers a variety of interactive training opportunities for law enforcement professionals including extremist training and hate crime training. The St. Louis Regional office of ADL has a long track record of working effectively with the law enforcement community to combat extremist groups and the threat they pose to American security.

Diversity Awareness Partnership
The Diversity Awareness Partnership is a collaboration of more than 30 St. Louis organizations that have demonstrated leadership in diversity work and have combined resources to create an inclusive community on every level, a community that celebrates diversity and practices equality. Themed Make a Difference by Accepting Everyone Else's, the Partnership's efforts are designed to promote the value of difference and to reduce bias and discrimination in both individuals and institutions.

No Place For Hate®
No Place for Hate® is a program that enables people to challenge anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, and all forms of bigotry in their communities and schools. No Place for Hate® in schools seeks to provide a model for combating intolerance, bullying and hatred, leading to long-term solutions to these problems in schools.

Glass Leadership Institute and Staenberg Fellowship
Recognizing the need to build a younger constituency, this program provides a forum to educate young Jewish leaders about ADL and contemporary issues relating to the Jewish people and Israel. The GLI is a tool to help build the next generation of ADL leaders by providing these promising young adults with leadership skills and an understanding of the Jewish community both in the U.S. and abroad.

A World of Difference® Institute
The A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute is an international institute with anti-bias and diversity education programs used by schools, universities, corporations and community law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and abroad. Founded in Boston in 1985 when the Anti-Defamation League and WCVB-TV joined together to fight prejudice, the A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute came to St. Louis in 1987.

Confronting Anti-Semitism
The Confronting Anti-Semitism Project empowers the Jewish community to identify and respond to acts of anti-Semitism and to challenge the anti-Semitic stereotypes at the root of such acts. CAS Programs, which take place in synagogues, religious schools, Jewish community centers, youth groups and camps, are designed as two hour, interactive family workshops geared towards students in grades 6-12 and their parents. Led by trained facilitators from the ADL, the workshops are based upon a series of video vignettes that help promote healthy discussions, the sharing of personal experiences, and the group exploration of effective strategies to fight anti-Semitism. Recently the Kranzberg Family Foundation awarded the ADL a grant to expand CAS to 20 and 30 somethings, called the Millennials, who are often removed from the anti-Semitism experienced by their parents and grandparents.

Israel Task Force
The Israel Task Force is a very successful component of the ADL's advocacy agenda. The group aims to counteract the dissemination of inaccurate and misleading information about the conflict in the Middle East, and to address the global rise in anti-Semitism as it relates to public's perceptions of Israel and Middle Eastern politics.

Legislative Action
The ADL takes an active role in identifying emerging issues as they take place in Washington and helping to craft legislative and policy initiatives. A national network of ADL activists assumes a key role in educating and activating Regional leadership, which is crucial to the advancement of the League's legislative priorities.
