Young Adult Division or YAD

The Young Adult Division (YAD) of the Jewish Federation aims to involve Jewish young adults ages 21-39 in the Seattle Jewish community. YAD works to partner with and promote those organizations providing programming and events geared towards this important age group.

One way we do this is through the YAD Monthly Newsletter, which showcases events and programs going on in the Seattle Jewish community in that month that are young adult friendly. Please contact Shayna Rosen at ShaynaR [at] JewishInSeattle [dot] org if you have an event that you would like included in next month's newsletter, of if you would like join the YAD mailing list.

Greetings Young Adults of Seattle!

This month's newsletter contains over 20 programs and events happening in May for young adults! I think this is a record high! This truly demonstrates how many great opportunities there are for you to get involved, meet new friends, and make a difference in your Seattle Jewish community.

Summer Host Families Needed!

Posted on Tuesday Apr 17, 2012 11:57 AM

Three Israeli counselors will be visiting to work with our Jewish youth at the Stroum Jewish Community Center this summer through the TIPS Partnership. We are looking for several families to host our three female counselors for a 3-6 week period from July to August.

If you have an 18 or 19-year-old child at home this summer, hosting an Israeli counselor presents a wonderful chance for your child to show off Jewish American hospitality and make a new friend. This is a great opportunity to have a taste of Israel in your home!
