Removing Barriers

JLGB exists to ensure that every young Jewish person has the opportunity to take a full part in and contribute to British life and society from within the context of their faith and communities. This is why we ensure all our activities are kosher and Sabbath-friendly.

Our programmes are...

Faith Friendly...

JLGB is the only youth organisation with the framework to reach out and overcome the disadvantage thats young Jewish people can experience. We have the trust of so many local communities and can accommodate all Kashrut, Shabbat and single-gender needs, so we ensure young people from any community can participate in such important rites of passage as the DofE Award and other voluntary activities.

Age Appropriate...

JLGB is not just a youth organisation, it’s a youth empowerment organisation. Experts at understanding young people, we’ve met the needs of generation after generation. We design fun, flexible programmes across the 4 key age ranges so children can progress and achieve at each level, from first friendships to their first leadership role.

Inclusive...

Our national reach and virtual offering means we can work across every Jewish community, no matter how small, remote or hard to reach they are. Every child matters, so we provide subsidies and bursaries to ensure cost is no barrier to participation, and we work closely with schools and parents to support children with special educational needs.
