JYCA Gala & Community Celebration!

JYCA's Annual Gala is BACK!

For 27 years, Jewish Youth for Community Action (JYCA) has tended to youth leadership and activism. We pride ourselves in our ever-evolving organization and work, meeting each moment and need with joy and care. JYCA's mission engages Jewish youth in movements for social justice by creating a joyous, multiracial community where young people develop innovative leadership and organizing skills, facilitate socio-political learning, and run action campaigns. We have only been able to come this far and achieve these through everyone's generous support!

And we have a lot to celebrate: JYCA’s youth and their leadership for 27 years, the revival of the JAM program for BIJOCSM youth, our community’s resilience, and making organizational history with our first QTPOC leader! At the least, we hope for 27 more years of community, joy, and radical action. Now more than ever, we need you to support our work and youth.

Therefore, this year's traditional Gala is re-framed as a Community Celebration--and everyone is invited to show up. As we think about collective care, we are thinking about the collective responsibilities we have to each other within & beyond this community. Every dollar and every person counts. When you donate, you not only provide the necessary resources for our vital work to continue but also help ensure that the next generation of leaders can contribute to movements for social change.
