This Giving Tuesday, I’m honored to raise money for my new workplace JQY (Jewish Queer Youth) for our vital programs that support LGBTQ+ Jewish youth. JQY’s work changes lives, creating safe spaces and providing resources for young people who often face isolation and discrimination.
JQY supports youth with its robust roster of programming including a weekly Drop-in center where Jewish queer youth ages 13-23 can connect with others like them and receive free mental health care and kosher dinner, JQYU, the JQY college support program which offers micro-grants for Jewish queer college students to meet and support one another on or off campus, and educational programming for therapists and Orthodox community leaders to better support queer individuals, fostering understanding and compassion at the source.
These programs not only save lives—they build futures. I believe in JQY’s mission to create a world where no young person feels alone because of their identity, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting them today.
