Westchester Youth Professional Roundtable Series

Facilitator: Loen Amer
Format: In Person
Westchester Jewish Council

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 Westchester.
The Youth Professional Roundtable is a great entry point to engaging with our teen work at The Jewish Education Project. 

This roundtable is offered in partnership with and with the generous support of the Westchester Jewish Council. 

Additional Information:

  • This network is designed for Youth Professionals in Westchester. 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 the Westchester area. 
  • 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.
