Jewish Student Connection exists to help high school students explore what [Jewish] means to them, inspiring proud personal connections with our culture, with our People, with Israel — with each other.

Recently re-branded Jewish Student Connection (formerly the Jewish Student Union) provides Jewish teens in public and secular private high schools with an in-school informal educational experience – the JSC club – focused on compelling issues of Jewish pride, identity, and connection to Israel. A national network of 65+ non-denominational, pluralistic, student-led Jewish clubs, Jewish Student Connection reaches close to 3,000 students annually. Jewish Student Connection's informal educational clubs enhance teens' Jewish identity, nurture a connection to the State of Israel, inspire an enduring relationship with the Jewish people and provide for a deeper involvement with the Jewish community.
