USY Cohorts for Young Jews of Color, Indigenous Jews, Sephardim, and Mizrahim (JOCISM)
USY is piloting a new opportunity for connection, leadership, and education exclusively for young Jews of Color, Indigenous Jews, Sephardi Jews, and Mizrahi Jews across the country. Together, these groups will develop leadership skills, hear from JOCISM speakers who are making a difference in diversity, equity, and inclusion in their communities, and unpack their intersectional identities using Jewish themes and values. Most importantly, they will develop bonds with other JOCISM youth from near and far. 

The application is now open! Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis with a preference for applications received by August 31st.
