“I absolutely love the values cards and so excited for all of the opportunities to teach teens through the New Curriculum.”
I really liked how thought out everything was and how you demonstrated all the concepts. Everything felt very intentional and the time was used well. I am feeling a lot more confident in my ability to lead a youth philanthropy program because I participated in this training. Thank you!

The Changemakers program itself is of the highest quality--the kind of quality that all our educational materials for children and teens should have. The combination of text based learning and hands on collective action is a great way to make the case that Judaism is relevant in the lives of our teens.

A great introduction to the world of youth philanthropy programs. I learned a lot and left the training ready to learn more, plus met some great people along the way! Thank you!
