JQY

iPhone / Réseaux sociaux

Download our app and connect with the global Jewish queer community.

JQY (Jewish Queer Youth) supports and empowers LGBTQ youth in the Jewish community. JQY fights to ensure the emotional and physical health and safety of these individuals, with a special focus on teens and young adults from Orthodox, Chasidic, and Sephardi/Mizrahi communities. Our goal is for all these individuals to know: You are a valued member of the Jewish community and you are not alone.

This app also provides spaces for parents and siblings of JQYers as well as a forum for mental health professionals to connect.


NAVIGATING APP ANONYMITY

**Who can see my profile?**

Once you join the app, your profile will be searchable to all other app users.

“Your Name” (as opposed to “Name for JQY internal use”), your profile picture (should you choose to have one), and your pronouns (should you choose to list them) can be seen by ALL other app users.

If you are concerned about others seeing your real name, please use a different chosen name for your “Your Name.”

If you can, please use your real name under “Name for JQY internal use” as that information will be private and will only be seen by JQY staff.


**Who can see my information? (i.e. name, email, dob, zipcode, etc)**

Only you and JQY staff can see your “Name for JQY internal use,” email, birthday, zipcode, why you are joining the app, and comments for JQY. As this is the case, if you can and are comfortable doing so, please fill out this information with your real email address, dob, etc. so we at JQY can know how to reach you and support you best.


More information on who can see your likes, comments, and posts is within the app or on our social media (Instagram: @jewishqueeryouth, Facebook: @JQYouth).
