YOU make the difference!

SYVJC depends on your support to bring meaningful gatherings, celebrations, and community connection to life. As a small and intimate community, every donation—large or small—has real impact.



A donation to the Conscientious Contribution fund serves as your annual membership.
It’s our way of replacing traditional dues with something rooted in values: generosity, shared purpose, and belonging.

Thank you for supporting SYVJC.
