EUJS Institutional Partners

The EUJS mission emphasizes our desire to enhance the recognition of the specific needs of young European Jews and young people in general.  Our work is based on a set of strong relationships with youth oriented institutions, both Jewish and non-Jewish, and with institutions who believe in the power of youth as a vehicle for positive change.  Such work is conducted with a view to increasing sensitivity to the needs and abilities of youth across Europe, and in some cases, to encouraging a greater focus on youth issues and youth involvement.
