Jewish + LGBTQ+ Youth Events In Atlanta
We're so excited for our LGBTQ+ and Jewish youth group's fall events!
We invite youth group members to join us at Pride Shabbat on October 10 to experience this wonderful community gathering together! And on November 9, we'll be taking our first "field trip" to learn about queer adaptations of mikveh ritual.
Through this new group for Jewish LGBTQ+ youth ages 12-17, we offer opportunities for our youth to explore their queer and Jewish identities, connect with others, and embrace their uniqueness. We’ve got 8 monthly events on the calendar from September through April, involving discussion, art, "field trips" and fun! Facilitated by 3 incredible queer Jewish adults, together we’ll build a supportive and nourishing space to make friends, learn, and explore. There is sliding-scale pricing for this program, with no one turned away for lack of funds.
Registration for all events can be found at bit.ly/SOJOURNYouth!
Jewish Professionals for Rainbow Youth Summit
Join us on November 11 for the first ever Jewish Professionals for Rainbow Youth (JPRY) Summit! This summit is intended for professionals who work with youth in a Jewish setting. JPRY will highlight the ways that teachers and youth-facing staff can create supportive environments and respond to the needs of LGBTQ+ youth in their Jewish communities, with a focus on those working with trans and non-binary youth.
This gathering is a call to action for Jewish professionals—rabbis, educators, therapists, youth workers, and communal leaders—to show up with courage, compassion, and clarity for queer Jewish youth. Rooted in the sacred principle of pikuach nefesh—the obligation to preserve life—this conference centers the voices and needs of LGBTQ+ Jewish young people and equips professionals to be their fiercest allies and advocates.
The summit will take place from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM in Sandy Springs, GA. Location details will be sent to participants once they register. Registration can be found at bit.ly/JewishProsRainbowYouth.
This summit is made possible through partnership with JTeen of Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, Jewish Women's Fund of Atlanta, and Community Corps.
