Maintaining the Cycle.
We offer three programs, which create a continuous process of influence, where young participants evolve into mentors. Our curriculum forms a lasting effect by carrying participants from 4th grade all the way to students and Young Professionals.

THE YOUTH MOVEMENT
(4th-9th grade)
Weekly meetings run by teen counselors, involving fun team activities and games that integrate Jewish and Zionist values.
Youth also participate in monthly volunteer projects, older sibling tutoring, and main events that bring together all members of the community.
Subjects learned : Every year the children will focus on another set of values, and culminate annual programming with a project that represents who they are.
4th grade- team value, the Jewish story
5th- caring for one another Jewish values
6th - responsibility, Jewish mission
7th - circles of identity, the Jewish nation
8th- my mission, Zionist identity
9th-
Practice: monthly volunteering events with former preparation, weekend seminars, personal development bar mitzvah projects, and book club.
THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
(9-12th grade)
Bi monthly meetings that build a cache of experiences, study, and tools which can give the young leaders a unique skill set. With the guidance they acquire from these skills, they’ll be able to execute their own initiatives and visions, giving them the assertiveness in their capabilities and a responsibility to make it their own. In the Summer, the teens will be flown to Israel to participate in a powerful trip that will culminate their year in applying what they’ve learned.
Subjects learned : Creative thinking, accelerating projects, teamwork, public speaking, project management, startup processes, evaluation and team leadership.
Practice : Teens chosen to participate in the program will commit to be managing partners in the movement through a variety of roles: councilors, project managers, volunteering initiators, and more.
UPHOLDERS OF THE COMMUNITY
(students and YP’s)
A network of Jewish and Zionist activists that get together to help each other develop Zionist thought and dialog, while mentoring teen leaders and kids with their expertise in activism. The physical space of the center becomes a work hub and magnet for influence and giving back to the community through volunteering and special events.
Practice: Through mentoring, the students and YP’s help younger children create self development projects, and actively become an inspiring older “sibling”.
