New York City Youth Professionals Roundtable
About this Network:
The Youth Professional Roundtable is an opportunity for youth and teen professionals to build relationships with colleagues in the field, examine key challenges that arise in their roles and explore opportunities for collaboration across the New York area.
The Youth Professional Roundtable is a great entry point to engaging with our teen work at The Jewish Education Project.
Additional Information:
- This network is designed for Youth Professionals in New York City. Folks who work part-time or full-time with 6th-12th graders at any Jewish organization (congregations, schools, JCCs, service learning, youth philanthropy, and more!) are perfect for this network!
- We are meeting in person!
- This network will meet three times throughout the year with professionals from New York City.
- If you are interested in connecting in-person with colleagues across the broader New York area, check out our New York Area Youth Professionals Network. Participants are encouraged to join both their local roundtable and the regional network.
