YAD is the Young Adults Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City. The Young Adults Division aims to connect young adults 21-45 years old with each other and provide meaningful ways to connect, engage, and give back to the Kansas City Jewish community.
YAD Community Building Events:
- Good Shabbos (Summer)
- Bagel Bash (Hanukkah)
- Seder Shuffle (Passover)
- Impact Events (throughout the year)
Our community events are designed to bring our entire YAD community together! The signature events not only highlight the impact YAD has on our Kansas City Jewish community, they also provide fun ways for YAD members to connect with each other.
Community Connector events
Our YAD Community Connectors provide networking and community-building opportunities for Jews who are new or new-ish to KC and/or YAD. These smaller outings and one-on-one meetups are meant to create meaningful connections.
- Monthly Shabbat dinners or Havdalahs
- Monthly Well Fed dinners

Young Adults Division IMPACT series
IMPACT is designed to help you get to know the community organizations around Kansas City that Federation supports. Throughout the year, YAD hosts events with our partner organizations to learn how Federation dollars support these organizations and our community and participate in an activity or service project.
