Our Mission
NCSY Canada is dedicated to ensuring the future of the Jewish people. We secure that future through building relationships with Jewish teens; increasing Jewish literacy by teaching them about their heritage and traditions; establishing lifelong connections to the Jewish people and Israel; and enhancing Jewish teens’ growth in Judaism.

NCSY Vancouver creates and maintains an environment where these values are fostered, resulting in a maximization of the potential of each teen we encounter. Each encounter is used as an opportunity to expand the teen’s relationship with the Almighty, strengthen the teen’s self esteem, and start them on the road to becoming the Jewish leaders of tomorrow.
