UJIA invests in young people and education. We're behind you

UJIA in the UK

UJIA Israel Experience is our flagship programme, connecting young Jewish people to their heritage and heartland. We fund Summer Tour, Gap Years and Birthright.

Every year more than 2,500 of our young people visit Israel on a dedicated educational programme. In conjunction with this, we run the UJIA Jewish Life Education Centre (JLEC), the home of informal Jewish education. We provide resources for inspiring young people to engage with Jewish life, heritage and Israel. We work with the Jewish Youth Movements and the Union of Jewish Students (UJS).

We also fund a number of young adult educational initiatives including Limmud. Our educational work in the UK also includes our Educational Leadership programme, developing a complete programme of Jewish education through teacher training, curriculum and professional development of the very highest standard.

Israel Experience Bursaries

Each year, approximately 2,200 young British Jews visit Israel on both short (3 weeks) and long (5 months-1 year) Israel programmes. UJIA awards means-tested bursaries that allow hundreds of young people the opportunity to participate in the educational experience of a lifetime.

Israel Experience Training

The key to the success of our Israel Experience programmes is the quality of the staff (madrichim) that accompany the groups for the duration of their visit. These young adults attend a rigorous training programme in both the UK and Israel in the months leading up to the tour.

Youth Movements and UJS Core Allocation

UJIA provides core funding for 12 Jewish Youth Movements and the Union of Jewish Students.

Youth Movements and UJS Staff Training

The training of young leaders (madrichim) for the Jewish Youth Movements and UJS is a key element of the UJIA's strategy for Informal Jewish Education. Our professionals run regular training sessions and retreats for Movement and UJS staff as well as hundreds of madrichim.
