MJC participants represent a select group of students and young professionals from an array of professional, civic and political fields. Among them include a group of young entrepreneurs who plan to develop joint business ventures and an artists' troupe which will collaborate on an interfaith art exhibit. 

Young leaders at the MJC received a formal written greeting from former US President Bill Clinton . "A major focus of my Presidency was the pursuit of peaceful resolutions to ethnic and religious conflict…so it's especially wonderful to see a new generation determined to break down the barriers of ethnicity and religion that too often divide us," Clinton wrote.

The MJC is backed by Rabbi Andrew Baker , Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Personal Representative on Combating Anti-Semitism; Sebastian Kurz , Austrian State Secretary for Integration; Andre Azoulay , Senior Advisor to King Mohammed VI of Morocco ; Chief Rabbi David Rosen , long-term Liaison to Pope Johannes Paul II; Sally Painter , former Senior Advisor to President Clinton; Dr. Mustafa Ceric , Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina ; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Austria and Slovakia ; the City of Bratislava ; the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations; the European Union of Jewish Students; the World Union of Jewish Students; Karl Kahane Foundation; and the Stanley and Marion Bergman Family Charitable Fund.
