NYC Early Career Youth Professionals Roundtables
About this Network:
The Jewish Education Project is excited to start a new network for early-career professionals working with 6th-12th graders at Jewish institutions in NYC.
Our series of roundtables for NYC's early career youth engagement professionals is an opportunity for young professionals to build relationships with local colleagues in the field for meaningful support, examine key challenges that arise in their roles, and explore topics relevant to careers in the Jewish world. The roundtables are a wonderful entry point to engaging with our teen work at The Jewish Education Project.
Additional Information:
- This network is designed for youth professionals new to the field of Jewish engagement and education in NYC. Folks who work part-time or full-time with 6th-12th graders at any NYC 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 throughout the year with professionals from NYC. (Participants can also choose to join us online throughout the year for webinars to focus on specific topics with national colleagues of all levels of experience.)
