CONNECTING YOUNG ADULTS
Shalom Austin’s Young Adult Division (YAD) is Austin’s networking hub for Jewish professionals in their 20s and 30s.
ABOUT US
Shalom Austin’s Young Adult Division (YAD) is Austin’s networking hub for Jewish young professionals. YAD’s goal is to build the Jewish community through social events, educational programming, holiday celebrations, and philanthropic opportunities in a welcoming and open environment. Through these initiatives, YAD serves as a welcome group to recent transplants, a platform for leadership development, and a bridge to the wider Austin Jewish community. YAD seeks to enable Jewish young adults in the area to find their home and place within Jewish Austin and the surrounding communities.
YAD is made possible by Shalom Austin’s Annual Campaign.
