COJY Central Oregon Jewish Youth is for kids in grades 6-12, regardless of affiliation with a synagogue. Our vision is to create opportunities for youth in Central Oregon to spend some time with one another and they may even share experiences and perspectives on being Jewish in Central Oregon. We hope that having had these opportunities will ignite a desire within them to seek out situations in their future that incorporate some form of Judaism into their lives and that this is an independent decision and is satisfying. We typically hold 4-5 events per year including volunteer opportunities with the Badlands.
Past events have included:
Moonlight snowshoe
Chanukah Party
Movie Night
Youth led Service
Purim and Pizzatashen
Clearing barbed wire from the Badlands
Hiking
Trip to Ashland
Floating the River
Tie Dye events
and more!!!
