Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte (JFGC) is pleased to announce that Megan Harkavy has been named the new director of education and engagement.
In this role, Megan will develop and implement innovative educational programs that cater to all ages and backgrounds including young children, teens, adults, newcomers, and interfaith families. Megan will work closely with schools, synagogues, and other Jewish organizations to create cohesive and meaningful learning experiences.
Previously, among her various leadership roles, Megan was the director of the Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies (Hebrew High) for six years, where she revamped the program to foster strong relationships among teens, peers, teachers, and clergy. She managed the curriculum and organized successful school-wide events, while also forging partnerships within the greater Charlotte Jewish community.
“During the seven years that I’ve been living and working in the Charlotte Jewish community, I’ve seen the amazing work that our Federation does on behalf of the community, and I feel so grateful to now have the opportunity to be able to do this sacred work.” Megan commented, “I am excited to serve this community and welcome newcomers, partner with PJ Library, work with Center for Jewish Education, and engage people and families of all ages and stages with Jewish Charlotte.”
Megan will report to Tair Guidice, JFGC’s chief impact officer.
