'Tweens and Teens
Whether you grew up here or not, Jewish for Good is an awesome place for teens. From physical fitness to enrichment classes to job opportunities, there is something for all interests.
Looking to learn?
Check out Community Midrasha, our courses for teens in 8th-12th grades that engage teens in Jewish culture, history, and religion; inspiring them to foster their lifelong commitments to learning Jewishly. Everybody is welcome regardless of synagogue affiliation or prior religious education.
Atid
Our 11th-12th graders meet four times throughout the year to explore college and post-college Jewish life, visiting local Hillels and discussing issues like antisemitism on campus.
Interested in taking a Group Exercise Class or working out in the Fitness Center?
Come on in and join us! If you are 13-15 years old we will first have you participate in an orientation with a trainer. Once you complete your orientation you can use the facility (or take a class) but you must have an adult with you at all times. If you are 16 or older you can use the Fitness Center and take a Group Exercise class without orientation or an adult present.
Looking for skills to get a job?
Whether you want to gain skills for an opportunity at the J or elsewhere, we have a number of options to help you best prepare!
Lifeguard training: Each spring we offer both lifeguard certification and recertification courses to provide individuals with the skills and confidence necessary to serve as a lifeguard.
Camp Shelanu’s Leader in Training (LIT) Program: Spend your summer with Camp Shelanu participating in our LIT program where you explore what it means to be a leader and venture into your first job.
Red Cross Babysitting Training: Throughout the year we offer sessions for babysitting training. Get this certification and then start spending some of your free time caring for children you know!
ready for a job?
We are always looking for motivated, responsible teens to join our team, in the summer and all year round. When you work at Jewish for Good, you’ll do fun and meaningful work, gain valuable work experience and life-long job skills, and meet amazing people!
