Small Groups & JYC Pods

FROM A FIRST HELLO TO PEOPLE YOU SEE AGAIN

A large calendar creates variety. A small recurring group creates continuity.

JYC Pods are evidence-informed pilots for approximately six to ten people who want a familiar group, a clear rhythm, and a low-pressure way to build Jewish friendships. We will launch only groups supported by real local interest.

How a pod works

• Usually six to ten participants
• One trained peer host and one backup
• Clear dates, location area, and purpose
• Four to eight initial meetings or an announced monthly rhythm
• Group messaging only after affirmative consent

A HUMAN NEXT STEP

Help shape the first JYC Pods

Interest does not commit you to a group. JYC will use real demand before launching a pod.
