The efforts of Young UIA aim to ensure the continuity of Jewish support to Israel and to all Jews who are in need- whether from a physical, social, economic or educational threat. Young UIA, which targets people from the ages of 18-40, is an important link within the chain of Jewish nation-building. YUIA is comprised of Next YUIA, Young Leadership and YUIA Major Donors.

Our Young UIA groups worldwide are involved in three major areas of action; aliya, absorption and strengthening Israel’s social infrastructure. By supporting these causes they fulfil a double mission; to stand by Israel and the Jewish people around the world and to ensure the continuity and future leadership of Keren Hayesod.

90% of funds raised through YUIA initiatives goes towards supporting the Kiryat Yearim Youth Village which provides services and assistance to youth-at-risk. By providing new opportunities to the weakest parts of Israeli society, it is hoped that these Olim will become contributing members of Israeli society.
