Abstract:

The authors discuss the experience of their agency in establishing a Teen Task Force, which developed into a Teen Initiative with a three-year plan to create or enhance opportunities for professional development, teen leadership, formal Jewish learning experiences, non-formal Jewish learning experiences and innovative strategies for teen outreach. The authors focus on procedural and structural elements of the process that made the project a success.
