Get social with YJA's first mobile app!
Imagine yourself on the the first day of YJA Convention. What if you need to find a particular room at the hotel? How are you going to keep track of all the new friends you'll make, and all the new faces you'll see? Most importantly - what's for dinner?
Answering all those questions and more, YJA is thrilled to announce the release of our first mobile app, just in time for #YJA18! This app allows attendees to scan QR codes on fellow attendees' badges and save their contact information, allowing people to effortlessly stay in touch once everyone goes home. Within the app, attendees can also keep track of the little details - where to go, what to do, and what to wear - making it easier to have a great time at YJA Convention!

yjapathshala
YJA Pathshala is an online self-paced course for learning more about Jainism. Intended for youth ages 16-29 who cannot regularly access a traditional pathshala, these materials will provide a basic foundational understanding of Jain principles and practice. Extensive prior knowledge of Jainism is not required.
Why Pathshala? Understanding of the meaning behind prayers, rituals and practice will make visits to temple more fulfilling and Jain practice more relevant to your day to day choices and actions. We hope that participants can take what they learn through the Pathshala and apply it to consider their own actions through the lenses of Jain principles such as non-violence, compassion and honesty.
