So what can I do?
In 2023 we had more requests for support from KeshetUK than ever before. So please join our team of volunteers ensuring that no one is forced to choose between their LGBT+ and Jewish identity.
We are reliant on our wonderful volunteers to deliver education and training and support with some of our operations and admin. So whether you want to support our work directly with young people, get involved in fundraising or offer any other specific skills, we'd love to hear from you.
If you've got skills that aren't mentioned here that you think would add value to KeshetUK - please email us on [email protected].

Jordan Jacobs
Jordan is a trainee solicitor at an international law firm. He was born and raised in London and has always been engaged with the Jewish community, whether that be through school, university or the University of Warwick Jewish society. Over the last few years he has been increasingly passionate about improving inclusion of LGBT+ Jews in the community, and believes the best way of achieving this is through volunteering his time with KeshetUK. By volunteering with KeshetUK, he hopes not only to make the community as inclusive as possible, but also to learn more about himself and the community. |
