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.

Young Adult Education

UJIA sees supporting innovative educational projects in the young adult community as of vital importance for the long-term health of the community. After completing university, young adults often struggle to find their place in the community and so we support those programmes that demonstrate real success in this field.

Initial Teacher Training

UJIA is a major funder of teacher training for day and supplementary schools across the community. The UK is one of very few world Jewish Communities that is training sufficient numbers of new teachers for the community's day schools even as the number of Jewish students continues to grow.

Mid and Senior Level Professional Development

UJIA's Educational Leadership Department initiates and implements a number of programmes to enable teachers and other educators to prepare themselves for positions of leadership in the community. We run our programmes in partnership with organisations such as the British government's National College for School Leadership, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Mandel Centre for Professional Development.

Jewish Curriculum Partnership (JCP)

The JCP is a new UJIA initiative that will transform the landscape of Jewish day school provision in the community. Having built Jewish schools and developed teacher training programmes, it is only in the area of curriculum that the UK Jewish community is markedly deficient.
