"YYLC" is a youth leadership club for Jewish children of Israeli and American families living in the Issaquah, Sammamish, and Snoqualmie communities.

"YYLC" is committed to creating an inclusive and nonjudgmental environment for all families regardless of background or personal religious beliefs.

"YYLC" is not your typical "tween club." We're able to give your child a more lasting experience that he/she will find extremely fulfilling. Our members will learn about their soul and how to make it shine — essential, universal principles to help guide them to becoming young, responsible adults and the pillars of their future families.

We hold periodic meetings in which we will:

• Learn how to brainstorm and plan for events and programs
• Engage in community building and activities that guide your child into adulthood with grace, G‑d, and joy
• Experience social interactions that are fun and meaningful

Youth will receive community service hours for participating and giving back to the community during our "YYLC Hineni Missions."

Some of the missions are coordinated with other community nonprofits, while others may be spontaneous when a need arises.

During the course of the YYLC year, your child will meet other Jewish friends their age in the area. They will enjoy events and programs together, building lasting connections and friendships.
