There are four age ranges to progress through that match up with your school year so you'll know exactly which one you should join.

JLGB Virtual

JLGB groups moved online at the start of the coronavirus pandemic and our young leaders were at the heart of making it a huge success with jam-packed programmes, celebrity guests and many inspiring speakers on our Virtual JLGB platform. We continue to run online programmes every Thursday, benefiting those unable to get to groups.

eVOLve Awards

Doing good in society is at the heart of the JLGB ethos. We make it possible for you as a young Jewish person to take part and play your part in society. Every day, young people on the JLGB journey are putting smiles on the faces of older people, making their local towns and cities better places to be, supporting refugees and families in poverty, and much more. Volunteering doesn't just look good on your CV - it feels good and does good too. Take a look at all the Awards that you can take part in through JLGB.
