As a lingering effect of Covid-19, many middle and high school youth-serving professionals have struggled to get their programs rolling again. Participation and enthusiasm have waned. Some professionals have figured out the problem and the solution in their communities, but many have not. For those who are still trying to figure it out, you are not alone! Whether your focus is Hebrew high or youth group or teen philanthropy or service learning or something in-between, this 2-part series will explore ways to reset and reinvigorate your middle and high school education or engagement program.

The goals for our time together are: 
•    Discuss what is working and what is not working in your community
•    Learn about best practices in the field
•    Interact with a panel of professionals who are finding programmatic success
•    Engage in a collegial brainstorm/idea share 

Based on interest, there will be an optional third one hour session offered on October 1, 2024 from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm EDT. Also please note that this series will not be recorded and shared out afterwards.
