Scott Piro

Scott lives and breathes Jewish advocacy, as being a loud and proud Jew is central to his identity. He clocked JewBelong's arrival in real time because its bold, joyful, and unapologetic voice felt genuinely disruptive and reflected qualities strong within his own personality. Raised Jewish as the child of an interfaith couple, he made Aliyah and lived in Israel, and his Jewish identity has only deepened over the course of his life. In many ways, his own journey mirrors the audience JewBelong serves—from a relatively disengaged Jew to someone for whom Jewish identity, Zionism, and increasing observance have become central. That's why joining JewBelong as his third Jewish American nonprofit feels less like a career move and more like a natural continuation of his own story.
