🌟 Youth Empowerment in Action! 🌟

Meet our amazing new National Youth Executive Team, ready to lead JLGB into an exciting new chapter! 🚀

At JLGB, we’re not just focused on the difference we can make for young people but on the difference they can make in the world around them. We believe that when young people uplift those around them, they are lifted up themselves. 💪🌍 This year, we’re proud to amplify 📢 the voices of our young Jewish leaders, ensuring that they not only thrive but also create lasting change in their local communities and across the UK. ✨

Count Ilana In!

National Youth President

JLGB means a second family to me, where I've formed close friendships with people from all over the UK. I'm thrilled to be National Youth President this year because I’m excited to see the new Year 11s develop into young leaders and to represent JLGB at the AJEX Parade. One of my favourite JLGB moments was working with the fantastic Winter Camp entertainments team. Outside of JLGB, I'm currently in Year 13, planning to study Psychology at university, volunteer in Israel during my gap year, and continue my passions for cheerleading.

Count Dan In!

National Youth Vice President

JLGB is a place where I can flourish, grow, and make a difference while connecting with others who share my beliefs. I'm excited to be National Youth Vice President this year because, after many years in JLGB, I now have the chance to give back to everyone across the country. My favourite JLGB moment was going on the Israel Tour in 2023, where I made lifelong friends and explored the Holy Land. Outside of JLGB, I'm a sixth-form student with aspirations to study Economics at university. I also enjoy playing the piano and DJing.

Count Deena In!

National Young Leader Manager

JLGB means excitement, love, and community to me. I've been part of JLGB for 10 years and have not once gotten bored. I'm thrilled to help the young leaders thrive this year and make the Young Leaders' Zone the best and most fun it’s ever been. My favourite JLGB moment was performing the camp dance I created for Winter 2023/24 and seeing my efforts come to life. Currently, I'm an A-level student hoping to study Medicine after a year in Israel. I also play the Baritone Saxophone in three bands and am an avid crocheter.

Our vision is clear: Young People at the Heart of JLGB

We want every young person to have a pathway to fulfil their potential. This means magnifying the impact they can make in their communities and giving them a voice in shaping JLGB’s future. Youth leadership is not just encouraged at JLGB—it’s at the heart of everything we do. Whether at a local activity groups, camps or through our National Youth Forum, we provide young people the chance to lead, grow, and drive the change that matters most to them.

Following all the challenges of recent times, JLGB is not simply returning to 'normal'. Instead, we are committed to building a better tomorrow—one where thousands more young Jewish people each year can thrive, lead, and make a lasting difference.

Join us in celebrating youth leadership and building a brighter future for JLGB! 💫 Whether you’re a parent, alumni, or supporter, we invite you to stay involved and witness the impact our young leaders will have in the year ahead. Together, we can inspire the next generation of changemakers. 🙌
