JCA - Teen Programs

JCA & REGIONAL TEEN PROGRAMMING We offer a number of programs to teens, including informal education, social programming, community service, leadership opportunities, and occasional region-wide events. We also identify & suggest offerings in the region that may be of interest to our teens. Our goal is to nurture teens' Jewish identities and help build community through a variety of programs in which teens can be involved thanks to a grant from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Contact Jody Rosenbloom, Director of Lifelong Learning at [email protected] or (413) 256-0160 x203 for more information on any of these programs. Visit our registration websits for more information at http://jcateens.eventbrite.com.
	Teva Torah is a year-long program for 7th-9th graders that meets once per month to build community, practice earth living skills, and learn about nature-based Jewish traditions and teachings. This program is generously funded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation Teen Initiative Grant. Contact Cara Michelle Silverberg at [email protected] for more information.
	JVCorps (Jewish Volunteer Corps for Teens) is a once a month program, open to all Jewish teens in the area grades 7-12 who are interested in volunteering at the Amherst Survival Center. The teens cook, prepare, and clean up a Thursday night dinner at the Center. The group also brings the food or makes a donation to buy the groceries. Parents/ guardians are needed to supervise the teens while at the Survival Center. This program is generously funded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation Teen Initiative Grant. Contact Keren Rhodes at [email protected] for more information.
