Trip to Washington, DC
Teen Trip to Washington, DC Application due WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 for 9th-12th graders Cost: free
We are also happy to launch our application for our Teen Trip to Washington, D.C. in November! We are partnering with Generations Church, a local church in downtown New Rochelle, in which we will take ten 9th-12th graders from each community to explore our shared histories. We will spend two days/three nights visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, plus some other fun activities. Oh, did we also mention that it's free?! Thanks to a generous grant through the UJA Federation, we are able to offer this amazing opportunity to our communities at no cost.
Sundays, 9 am- 11 am or 9 am-12 pm Thursdays, 4-6 pm for 9th-12th graders; 8th graders on a case-by-case basis
Do you enjoy working with kids? Do you need service hours? Volunteer as a teacher's assistant in the Religious School!
Our K-7th Grade Religious School has a broad spectrum of opportunities for teens to get involved supporting teachers and kids in the classrooms. This opportunity can take place on Thursdays, Sundays, or both. You do not have to make a full year committment! We offer monthly training on Sundays.
Please note that we may have a limited number of spots, so don't wait!

Other Opportunities
JTS Emerging Leaders Fellowship Priority Applications due September 30, 2025 for 10th-12th graders
The Emerging Leaders Fellowship is a nine-month program for tenth through twelfth graders designed to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper connection to Jewish learning. Rooted in the values of student agency, academic freedom, and a rich tradition of over 200 years of critical Jewish scholarship, the fellowship invites students to explore key ideas that shape how we understand Jewish history, texts, and identity.
