Your Support Can Change a Child’s Life
Jewish Council for Youth Services (JCYS) provides quality Jewish early childhood education programs to over 500 individuals of all ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds throughout Chicagoland. We distribute scholarships annually to ensure that family income isn’t a barrier to accessing childcare, summer camp, and other JCYS programs.
JCYS is not affiliated with the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, so we rely on individual gifts, corporate donations, grants, and fundraisers to continue our work.
