The people of Fairfield County come from diverse backgrounds and work in various industries, but we all share common values that unite us.

 

Federation’s NextGen is committed to building a vibrant and inclusive Jewish community in Stamford, New Canaan, Darien, Israel, and beyond. Whether you identify as Jewish, "just Jewish," or Jew-ish, we’re here to help you find meaningful connections, enriching relationships, and resources that enhance every aspect of your life.


Our mission is to connect young Jews in their mid-20s, 30s, and 40s, ensuring that no matter your background or level of Jewish affiliation, you will always have a welcoming community to call home. NextGen serves as a gateway to Jewish life, empowering you to explore and strengthen your Jewish identity through engaging social events, impactful volunteer opportunities, educational experiences, and philanthropic initiatives.


We can’t wait to welcome you at our next event.
