JQY supports and empowers LGBTQ youth in the Jewish community, with a special focus on those from Orthodox, Chassidic, and Sephardi/Mizrachi homes. JQY promotes the mental health, emotional well-being and physical safety of these individuals by providing national crisis, communal, and advocacy resources, as well as in-person support programming in New York. We envision a reality in which LGBTQ youth from all Jewish communities have access to resources that allow them to feel safe, welcomed, and celebrated. We dream of a world where no young person, regardless of the religious affiliation of their upbringing, suffers from rejection, isolation, or shame.
