New York Area Youth Professionals Network
About this Network:
Join this network of youth engagement workers, experiential educators, and teen professionals from Long Island, New York City, and Westchester to build relationships with colleagues in the field.
Additional Information:
- The New York Area Youth Professionals Network is designed for youth professionals in the UJA-Federation of NY catchment area. 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!
- This network is for communication with each other across the area. If you are interested in gathering, please join another network. Check out our Network Catalog
