JYLA fellows live, serve, learn, & Play together in affirming, supportive, Growth-centered intentional community.

For JYLA, intentional community is more than a buzz word. It encapsulates the genuine relationships, growth, and fun that define this experience.

Every year, JYLA brings together young adults from all over the globe who are committed to making a difference in the world. We know that this sort of changemaking includes personal growth and community-minded thinking.

Through a justice-centered curriculum, care-filled mentorship, structured dialogue, respect for needed independence, and consistent guidance by our committed leadership team, a year of service with Jubilee Year offers an opportunity for fellows to dig deep into issues that matter, to reflect on needed growth, to explore an amazing city, and to be embraced by a community of care and support.

Together, the JYLA community lives, serves, laughs, plays, laments, celebrates, and supports one another in becoming the change we need to see in the world.
