NCSY acknowledges that the call to serve goes beyond the courageous soldiers of the IDF; it echoes within each of us. In response to the current situation in Israel affecting Jews worldwide, including at home, NCSY is committed to answering this call with unwavering dedication. Our mission is to provide unwavering support, resources, guidance, and assistance whenever it's needed.

We've initiated impactful programs to strengthen our community, with a specific emphasis on our youth who are grappling with significant challenges during this crucial period. Our programming is a reflection of our commitment to addressing these needs head-on. Together, we stand strong and united!

Outreach Programs

JSU

We are working with schools, directors, advisors and students to launch new clubs, crucial Jewish programming, lead urgent pro-Israel events and strengthen Jewish connections. We are also increasing security measures and mental health support for our JSU students and staff.

Shabbatons

Weekend retreats that unite our teenagers for a meaningful Shabbat experience have evolved to encompass a rich blend of activities.
