We are empowering our teens to help us plan, recruit, and host social events for their peers. Teens who would like to help plan events are invited to join us at our pizza and planning meetings. At these meetings, teens will work with one another to plan one upcoming event in the month following. We will help with everything you need to have a successful event including registration and supervision. Teens and parents will receive information about these upcoming events one month before each event.

Project Justice is for teens wanting to engage in social justice and advocacy. This group participates in multiple advocacy events ranging from racial justice, gun violence prevention to equal rights and more. 

Project Mitzvah is for teens to engage in hands-on social action projects. Throughout the year, teens will participate in mitzvot ranging from helping at an animal shelter, planting trees, and our very own Project Merry Mitzvah. 

Project Merry Mitzvah is our teen-led social action project for the Zaban Paradies Center for Homeless Couples. Teens are needed to help fundraise, plan, and implement both the meal and shopping experience for the residents.
