Breakouts: Choose your experience with our range of interactive workshops. Hear from experts from the wider teen engagement, adolescent development, and nonprofit community, as well as experienced professionals from the Jewish teen philanthropy field.

Labs: Discover new methodologies, models of education and best practices. The conference will turn into an experimentation lab where participants can be a “student” in a simulated lessons. We will then “look behind the curtain” as methodologies are broken down and explained.
