JCYS offers educational, recreational, and leadership experiences throughout the year at our family centers through early childhood education and summer camp programs. These programs nurture each child’s individual spirit, imagination, confidence, and talents. In addition, JCYS engages young professionals through board service and leadership opportunities, helping develop the next generation of Jewish civic leaders.
For over a century, JCYS has responded to the changing needs and demographics of the Chicagoland community—while our programs continue to evolve, our commitment and dedication to service—and to those we serve—remains constant.
Guided by Jewish values and culture, Jewish Council for Youth Services provides educational and recreational programs for Chicagoland’s children and through board service, develops the next generation of Jewish civic leaders.
Children flourish when they are truly seen, heard, and celebrated for who they are. At our four JCYS Family Centers, families of every background are welcomed into a warm, caring community. Your child will be encouraged to imagine, create, and discover with teachers who nurture their emotional, social, physical, and creative growth.
Our programs spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire a lifelong love of learning, helping children grow into compassionate and capable members of their communities. Here, small steps lead to big discoveries.
