Whoever said “it started with a whisper” had clearly never kicked off a programmatic year at a Jewish organization. Whatever your professional responsibilities are as we approach 5783, we hope you’re able to take time to breathe and reflect. We’ve compiled this list of opportunities for you to re-connect with our network of teen educators and engagement professionals.

  • CJP Teen Engagement Network Kick-Off: Thursday, Oct. 20, 10 a.m.. Join us for our first event of the year—come to schmooze, stay to connect, learn, eat and co-work. Learn more.

CJP and our partners are pleased to introduce a cohort-based mentor program offering new and rising teen educators and engagement professionals the opportunity to grow while being guided by an experienced Jewish educator.
