National Tween & Teen Educators and Engagement Professionals Network
About this Network:
This is a national network for professionals who have portfolios/roles/titles like Community Hebrew High professionals, Confirmation Class educators, Synagogue educators, Hebrew High directors, Community educators and Youth directors/coordinators, Madrichim coordinators, Youth Group advisors, Teen Leadership coordinators, and Social Action professionals.
The goal of this network is to connect with role-similar professionals to learn together and have conversations about the field, share programmatic and curricular resources, provide support and guidance, discuss challenges, and more.
This network will meet online via Zoom every ~6 weeks on Thursdays from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm EST, 8 times over the course of the year. See the dates below.
In addition to the live network gatherings, there will be a designated online space where youth professionals will be encouraged to share ideas, ask questions and get feedback, collaborate, kvetch/kvell, and more.
For more information about this network, please reach out to Erica Hruby at ehruby@jewishedproject.org.
