Jewish Lads' & Girls' Brigade
For young people aged 8–18
For over 130 years, JLGB has helped young Jewish people discover their potential and make a positive difference in the world. Whether you are 8 or 18, whatever your interests or ambitions, JLGB is a place to grow, connect, and be your best self.
JLGB offers essential life skills and meaningful experiences that support young people in their journey from empowered youth to engaged young adults. JLGB believes in young people not only as the leaders of tomorrow, but as a powerful force for positive change in society today.
JLGB exists to ensure that every young Jewish person has the opportunity to take a full part in and contribute to British life and society from within the context of their faith and communities. This is why we ensure all our activities are kosher and Sabbath-friendly.
