Eugene School District 4J

JSU: Jewish Student Affinity Groups are for Jewish students from all backgrounds, affiliations, and walks of life to come together in a safe, supportive, and celebratory space. All Jewish students, no matter what that means to you, are encouraged to join!

Some JSUs are always open to respectful non-Jewish allies, and some others have occasional events open to allies. Check with your school’s individual group for more info.
