IJY's Mission
Inspire Jewish Youth (IJY) helps Jewish youth of all abilities, with a specialization in neurodiverse youth, have access to engaging and inclusive online resources that help grow deep roots in their Jewish community, Jewish values, and Jewish traditions! Our goal is to ensure that every child regardless of their learning needs can embrace their Jewish learning through interactive content, simplified learning materials, and supportive guidance for families and educators.
IJY's Vision
IJY's vision is a future where every child, regardless of their, abilities are able to fully participate and celebrate their identity, including neurodiverse youth! Through curated educational material and engaging events, IJY strives to make this vision a reality by helping Jewish youth engage with their Jewish identity and also by educating parents and helpers on how to approach and teach new topics in order to have the biggest impact on youth.
