Kamoni Kamocha - Israel Gay Youth

The Israel Gay Youth Organization (IGY) was established in 2002 and has since grown into the largest and most widespread LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) organization in Israel, with activities in 22 cities and towns across the country – from Kiryat Shmona in the north to Be'er Sheba in the South. More than 1,500 young people regularly attend these activities and the numbers are rapidly growing. The organization employs 5 hired staff members and over 150 volunteers. We are headed by a Board of Governers. Our main sources of funding are the Ministry of Education, municipalities, National Social Security, foundations, businesses and private donors. Municipalities and the Ministry of Education are also partner organizations, and we partner with many NGOs, especially from the LGBT community, in all our projects. Our projects focus on LGBT youth - social groups, program in schools, youth club, youth leadership.
