Our Connection to Young Judaea and Hadassah

Join Zionists of all ages across the world who are making a significant difference for Israel. YJ Impact is the University and Young Adult's Expression of Young Judaea, the Zionist Youth Movement of Hadassah. Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, takes action by saving hundreds of lives each day through their hospitals in Israel and advocacy in the United States. Young Judaea challenges youth to become involved in social and educational activities that develop and sharpen their senses of Jewish and Zionist identity. Through YJ Impact, you can utilize your passion and knowledge to make a difference in your campus and community, and continue your connection to Israel!
