Teen Department
The JCC Teen Department provides a wide variety of activities and enrichment programs for teenagers grades 7-12. We are excited to introduce many new additions to our Teen Department in the past few months, focused on the development of active and well-rounded young adults. Whether it’s getting involved in our Emerging Leaders Program or attending our College Bound workshops and tour, we hope to engage teens in a Jewish community that is of service to the community-at-large and nurturing the growth of all its members. Please check out all of the new programs on this website and see all that we are offering!
