JQY vs Loop

Download our app and connect with the global Jewish queer community. JQY is a mental health organization that empowers Jewish queer teens and young adults to live healthy, joyful lives. Our work is grounded in our deep understanding of Jewish tradition and mental health best practices, enabling us to provide critical services and programs for at-risk youth from historically non-accepting communities. We save and improve lives by connecting youth to one another, to providers and relevant resources, and to opportunities to see themselves and their futures. This app also provides spaces for parents and siblings of JQYers as well as a forum for mental health professionals to connect. NAVIGATING APP ANONYMITY **Who can see my profile?** Once you join the app, your profile will be searchable to all other app users. “Your Name” (as opposed to “Name for JQY internal use”), your profile picture (should you choose to have one), and your pronouns (should you choose to list them) can be seen by ALL other app users. If you are concerned about others seeing your real name, please use a different chosen name for your “Your Name.” If you can, please use your real name under “Name for JQY internal use” as that information will be private and will only be seen by JQY staff. **Who can see my information? (i.e. name, email, dob, zipcode, etc)** Only you and JQY staff can see your “Name for JQY internal use,” email, birthday, zipcode, why you are joining the app, and comments for JQY. As this is the case, if you can and are comfortable doing so, please fill out this information with your real email address, dob, etc. so we at JQY can know how to reach you and support you best. More information on who can see your likes, comments, and posts is within the app or on our social media (Instagram: @jewishqueeryouth, Facebook: @JQYouth). Want to get in touch with us? Fill out the Join+Contact form on jqy.org and someone from the JQY team will reach out.

Loop is the social network for meeting and matchmaking through friends, events, and communities. On Loop, everyone plays matchmaker for their single friends. Singles can also see who their friends know and ask for intros through the app, removing any social friction and making matchmaking easy. In addition to meeting through friends, people on Loop can meet and matchmake through groups centered around events, locations, professional matchmakers, and other communities. Loop groups for coffee shops, gyms, alumni networks, or parties can help maximize the odds that singles connect with someone who they could have met in real life. Loop is free to download and use. Sign up, indicate if you’re single or just there to set up friends, invite your friends, and start suggesting life changing matches! Our app uses Apple's standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
