“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!
“Very worthwhile, enjoyable, lots of food for thought! Thank you all”
“You're excellent! Thank you for taking it to the next level!”
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.
“Bravo! It was so much fun and I learned a lot.”
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!
