We envision a future where Jewish life adds unique value to every Jewish 20- and 30-something in the DMV.
We form personal relationships with thousands of 20s and 30s and introduce them to a vast network of DC-area young adults.
We create curated experiences to reach young adults across the Jewish DMV, particularly for folks seeking more personally relevant ways to engage with their Jewishness.
We lead thought-provoking Jewish learning experiences that inspire a relevant, active, and meaningful connection to Judaism.
We meet young Jewish adults where they are, regardless of their future plans for marriage, children, or synagogue.
We serve as the pulse of the community, connecting 20s and 30s to the Jewish life that is right for them.
We provide a comprehensive online list of local events, jobs, kosher food, housing, rabbis and more that make it easy for young adults to find their fit in the Jewish community.
“Thanks again for all the help! The 30 minute call was more informative than all my cumulative previous Googling. Looking forward to getting plugged into the Jewish community here.” – Jake W., 20s, February 2026
“GatherDC has been my anchor since I moved to Washington, D.C. It’s where I found real connection, meaningful Jewish engagement, and a community that made a big city feel personal. What makes GatherDC so special is how it meets people exactly where they are—whether you’re new to town, rediscovering your Jewish roots, or looking to deepen your spiritual life—and helps you build something authentic.” – Trey M., 30s, June 2025
“I think that people tend to know Gather for their 1-on-1 coffees and the (epic) happy hours. For me, though, what keeps me coming back over and over to Gather [is] the small group learning cohorts. I’ve participated in at least half a dozen over the past few years. I love how Gather curates them, handpicking diverse participants and putting them in an intimate setting which promotes collaborative learning.” – Andy C., 30s, June 2025

"*" indicates required fields
GatherDC strives to be and build a community guided by the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. We know it is imperative that we make space for all Jewish young adults across the DMV so they can meaningfully discover authentic Jewish identity and find lasting Jewish community—and we know that that is not possible when the community we create does not feel like a place where everyone can safely show up as they are.
If you or someone you know experienced an incident of hate, bias, or harassment perpetrated by a Gather staff member, lay leader, or community member that has caused or may cause harm as a result of engaging with the GatherDC community, we invite you to file an incident report so that we may appropriately address the incident, and ensure Gather can be a space for all Jews to show up as they are and build deep, lasting community.
