At The Zone we're dedicated to providing a vibrant and supportive environment for young people, while also welcoming families and adults into our community hub. 

Our primary focus is on empowering youth through a wide range of engaging activities, including social events, trips, and opportunities for personal development.

We provide bespoke support for young people, children, and also for adults with disabilities or additional needs, alongside parent coaching to strengthen family dynamics. 

Committed to our local and wider communities, we help young people understand their responsibilities and the positive impact they can make wherever they eventually settle. 

We also celebrate Jewish identity, culture, and traditions, while connecting to other faiths through various celebratory days and activities. 

Our holistic approach to wellbeing seeks to enhance the lives of young people, offering them new opportunities, hobbies, and informal education workshops helping them grow into well-rounded and engaged individuals.

In the 1920’s, a small room in Brunswick Street at Sheepscar was used to host a band of Jewish youth who would meet to participate in lectures, discussions and social activities. When the institute authorities decided to change the use of the building, the young people found themselves without a meeting place.

New Premises were found in Barrack Road on the site of what were once stables. 
With some funds raised through B’nai Brith and a donation from Sir Montague Burton, the ex cavalry barracks were made habitable and became known as... THE JUDEAN CLUB.

After 25 years at Barrack Road and as the Jewish community migrated further towards North Leeds, the Judean Club moved again to premises on Street Lane. Memories from Street Lane and Barrack Road will always be cherished by the Judean members of that time and were celebrated by 1000 past members in February 2009, marking 80 years of Jewish social life in Leeds.

Sadly, almost 2 decades went by without a Jewish Youth Centre, until we opened our doors in 1999. Welcome to The Judean Club For Boys & Girls, today known as THE ZONE!
