Jewish Youth for Community Action (JYCA) is a youth-led organization that empowers Jewish youth to take action for social justice through innovative leadership development, community organizing, and socio-political education.
At JYCA, every individual is respected and valued, everyone's ideas are taken seriously, and enthusiastic participation is the norm. We are so glad you are here and we're excited to tell you more!

PROGRAMS
JYCA's programming is created and led by youth and focuses on empowering youth to work towards progressive social change within a framework of Jewish values. We run our cohort programs LGiT and OG in the East Bay and on the Peninsula throughout the school year, and we have year round programming for Jews of Color, Sephardi, and Mizrahi youth in JAM.
