Our URJ Youth programs are cornerstones of the Reform Movement's youth engagement efforts. Through more than 60 programs, including immersive camping, year-round leadership opportunities, and social justice and travel programs, we develop essential skills – empathy, collaboration, critical thinking, and more – grounded in Jewish values and tradition that set up our youth to be successful today and in the future.
We’re reaching 23,000 unique youth and teens this year. Each of these unique participants is being given the chance to find their own way, to develop their voice, and to become the best version of themselves today, with the skills to flourish tomorrow. Let’s celebrate!
