The Association For Jewish Outreach Programs (AJOP) is an Orthodox Jewish network which supports volunteers who are guiding Jews to live according to orthodox Jewish values.
Those Rabbis and Activists are considered in their field as Kiruv professionals (Thus the organization is also commonly referred to as The Association For Jewish Outreach Professionals (AJOP) ).
AJOP is headquartered in Baltimore, MD, and runs under the guidance and approval of its 2 rabbinical authorities; Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky and Rabbi Yaakov Perlow. AJOP was founded by Rabbi Yitzchok Lowenbraun who also currently serves as its National Director. Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald is its founding and Honorary President
AJOP assists outreach professionals in their work through the vast array of organizational and productivity based initiatives and products, for instance they print books about Judaism. Among many other products they have assembled is a collection of all Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about the Jewish Religion.
AJOP aids Kiruv professionals in networking with others to unite their efforts. They offer a list of speakers on Orthodox Jewish topic. Thus the highlight of AJOP's work is its annual international convention where Kiruv professionals worldwide unite to network, share resources, learn from experienced professionals in the field, and discuss issues. AJOP also distributes a weekly e-newsletter, containing reputable sources and publishers who share information such as Divrei Torah, Halacha, inspirational stories, and recipes, and runs an online store which sells merchandise tailored for those in the Kiruv profession.
