YAD, the Young Adult Division of the UJF, is the nexus of San Diego's vibrant community of Jews in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. YAD offers many exciting ways to get involved and get connected, including: fun social events; meaningful volunteer service opportunities; spectacular trips to Israel and beyond; stimulating educational programs; and fulfilling leadership positions. YAD also serves as the focal point for powerful philanthropic giving. Each financial gift made through YAD supports a wide variety of relief agencies helping the needy throughout our global community. There are events for families, singles and everyone in between, as well as events that bring the entire community together.

There's truly something for everyone at YAD.
