Young Adult Division | YAD
Live Jewishly. Give Jewishly. Lead Jewishly.
Serving ages 21-45
From online programs for young families to virtual Shabbats, from Network & Nosh events to the Colorado Jewish Agency Professionals (CJA Pros), from the Ben Gurion Society to Elevate, YAD programs provide multiple pathways for Jewish community members between the ages of 21 and 45 to live Jewish, give Jewish, and lead Jewish.
YAD’s work encompasses a wide range of activities but, at its core, YAD is dedicated to empowering young adults to become active in our Jewish community, to connect with others like and unlike themselves, and to reinforce the core Jewish values and traditions that bind us all. YAD is committed to facilitating lasting connection, meaningful conversation, and genuine communal spirit in order to sustain and strengthen a strong Jewish future for the next generation.

New JCC CEO Focused on Defining Community
If you’re the JCC and your middle name is literally “Community,” how do you define yourself in a post-COVID world? It’s a question that’s top of mind for Mike Sophir, the new chief executive officer of Denver’s Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center.
Communal Safety & Security: Ensuring Resilience Through Preparedness
Less than a year after the Tree of Life synagogue murders in Pittsburgh, the JEWISHcolorado Regional Safety & Security Initiative began leveraging the collective resources of our community to develop best practices for emergency communication, security awareness and training, and disaster response, with the goal of raising the baseline of safety and security throughout our community.
Young Adult Division: The Future of Jewish Community in Colorado
JEWISHcolorado’s Young Adult Division is made up of 20-, 30- and 40-somethings who gather at social events, volunteer to make our hometown a better place, and even travel together to far-flung places to help those in need. We are the future of Jewish leadership, and we want you.
