Why send your child to JLGB?
There are so many ways for children and young people to get involved with JLGB and so many ways for them to thrive when they do, but the core of the JLGB experience is our weekly group structure. Meeting together, week in week out, with friends and trusted adults is what builds the independence and confidence that characterises everyone who’s been on the JLGB journey. We want JLGB to be open to every child in the Jewish community so the first two weeks are always free.

Years 3 - 6
First experiences
First taste of freedom, first camps and weekends away, first firm friendships. Give your child the gift of their first steps towards real independence and start them on a character building journey for life! JLGB is a place to play and grow in a safe and structured, but above all, fun environment.
Years 7 - 8
New skills
Attendance each week at your local JLGB group is a fantastic support to the transition to secondary school. This stage in the JLGB journey steps up the skills development, from first aid to coding to public speaking, giving children skills and confidence that they can take back into the classroom.
Years 9 - 10
New experiences
At this age, there’s a whole world of new opportunities that JLGB has to offer, from voluntary experiences with real impact to the chance to gain the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in a faith-friendly way. Through a hugely diverse programme and by being a supportive constant in their lives, JLGB empowers young people to take risks in a safe way so they can develop the friendships, skills and attitudes that will see them through the challenges of the early teenage years.
Years 11 - 13
Ready for leadership
At JLGB we believe in the power of young people to lead and make change, and we offer a huge range of ways for them to step up and make a difference. From leadership development courses to actually getting involved in the design and running of JLGB programmes, we ensure that young Jewish people are ready for and confident about the next big transitions in their lives. It doesn’t just look brilliant on their CV, it allows young people to network and create their own future opportunities.
Students & Adult Volunteers
Do Your Bit
JLGB wouldn’t be able to exist without our session leaders and helpers, our music instructors, JLGB Virtual coordinators, DofE leaders and all the many volunteers who keep the show on the road across the country throughout the year and on our annual camps. If you have a skill that you could pass on to young people, or some time to spare each week to oversee our weekly groups, we’d love to hear from you.
