National Tween & Teen Educators and Engagement Professionals Network

This is a national network for professionals who work directly with Jewish middle and high school students, pre-B'Mitzvah through high school graduation. Professionals in this network serve in organization/program types such as youth groups, confirmation classes, Hebrew highs, teen leadership, synagogues, teen philanthropy, service-learning programs, national youth-serving organizations, and anything in-between. The goal of this network is to connect with professionals across the country to have conversations about the field, share programmatic and curricular resources, and discuss successes and challenges. In addition to the live network meet-ups, there will be a designated online space where youth professionals are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions and get feedback, collaborate, kvetch/kvell, and more. This network will meet via Zoom five times over the year, with additional opportunities to convene during relevant professional development opportunities.
