JQY

This Giving Tuesday, help raise critical funds for JQY, an organization that provides life-saving support to LGBTQ Jewish youth from historically non-accepting communities.

Right now, LGBTQ Jewish youth are increasingly vulnerable amidst rising antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ sentiment and legislation, leading them to feel afraid and isolated. They need support immediately. JQY creates an affirming environment where both their queer and Jewish identities are celebrated, and provides essential mental health resources for youth who have nowhere else to turn.

JQY's life-saving work is made possible through specific support systems: a weekly Drop-in Center provides free mental health care and community connection. A Jewish queer book club gives youth across the country representation they can connect to monthly. Educational programming equips therapists and community leaders with tools to create safer, more compassionate environments at the source. These and countless other touchpoints are lifelines that equip Jewish queer youth to survive and thrive.

This work saves lives. No young person should face their identity alone. Support JQY's critical work today.
