Children will meet weekly in a stimulating, safe and Jewish environment where responsible high school students from the community will be on hand to help with homework, test preparation and tutoring. They will also enjoy unique Jewish crafts, sports and outings with guidance and direction from their teen mentors.

Teens will have a very special opportunity to do something meaningful for the community. This program will allow them to develop their mentoring & leadership qualities through specialized peer mentoring training followed by a year of hands-on experience.

They will also be able to fulfill their community service requirements through this extraordinary opportunity of social and communal activism. Participants will develop a real sense of responsibility and learn to be more giving and caring individuals.
