Job Opportunities with J-Teen Leadership
Looking for a community service project for your synagogue, school, youth group or teen program?
J-Teen Leadership brings together Jewish teens from all backgrounds. Our teens enjoy collaborating with other teen groups who have an interest in service and leadership. Please contact us about opportunities to work together. Sign-up for our e-mail list and receive information about upcoming programs. We look forward to working with you!
What you need to know about J-Teen Leadership:
- As a teen-led organization, programming decisions are made by the Leadership Circle-a group of involved teen leaders. Ownership by the teens is a critical element that determines the success of the service projects.
- Adult allies serve as mentors and administrators in programming decisions, working with teens to develop, plan and implement projects.
- Teens are empowered to be decision makers and critical thinkers-to turn their passion into action.

Opportunity for your teens to travel to Washington, D.C.- Politics in Action/Advocacy
Join our teens on a trip to Panim el Panim: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and Values over Presidents weekend.
Teens who participate in this four-day workshop in Washington, D.C. return as stronger leaders with confidence to use their voices on important issues. Lobbying on Capitol Hill is a highlight. The trip is staffed by J-Teen Leadership. Teens who serve on the Westchester J-SERVE Planning Committee are encouraged to participate in this trip. Scholarships are available.
