Young Professionals

Young World Jewish Relief is a community of young professionals, aged 23 – 35, who come together for events and trips designed to promote socialising and networking whilst learning about the work of World Jewish Relief and raising vital funds to assist our transformative work.

Young World Jewish Relief is a partnership initiative of World Jewish Relief and Genesis Philanthropy Group

Young World Jewish Relief has a proud record of responding quickly to international disasters, launching fundraising evenings to raise money and get vital aid to where it’s most needed.

We organise a wide range of events, appealing to a variety of interests. From boat parties and supper quizzes to panel discussions exploring the world of social-entrepreneurship and contemporary art.

For those who want to learn more about the work of the charity, we host briefing events at exclusive venues such as the House of Lords.

We run bespoke trips once or twice a year to see our life-changing work in Eastern Europe. These trips allow participants to explore life in Eastern Europe and visit World Jewish Relief projects.
