JQY

Equipping Jewish queer youth to survive and thrive.

We equip at-risk LGBTQ Jewish youth from historically non-accepting communities to live healthy, joyful lives by creating a place where they can belong as their whole selves, providing the emotional and mental health support they need, and enabling them to see themselves and their futures.

Our work is grounded in our deep understanding of Jewish tradition and mental health best practices, enabling us to provide critical services and programs for at-risk youth from historically non-accepting communities. We save and improve lives by connecting youth to one another, to providers and relevant resources, and to opportunities to see themselves and their futures.
